Profile
Over the last couple of years, I worked as a researcher and lecturer in sustainability accounting, management and consultancy. Before joining the School of Earth and Environment, I was a lecturer in sustainability at Nottingham Trent University. I was responsible for curriculum and business development, creating projects for students to work as sustainability consultants in small and medium enterprises.
Previously, I was a researcher and guest lecturer in the Department of Management – University of Bologna (Italy), a researcher at NOVA School of Science and Technology (Portugal) and University of Coimbra (Portugal), and a guest lecturer in the Post-graduate programme in Environmental Sciences at the Federal University of Goiás (Brazil). Before starting my academic career, I worked in the Sustainable Development Observatory at the European Economic and Social Committee (Belgium), and as an environmental engineer, consultant, and project manager.
I am a reviewer of multiple scientific journals, including the Journal of Cleaner Production, Frontiers in Sustainability, Ocean and Coastal Management, and Journal of Management and Governance.
I am also a visiting lecturer at the University of Bologna, a research collaborator at CENSE – Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research (NOVA University of Lisbon) and a member of the International Sustainable Development Research Society and the Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research.
