About
My experience during the last two decades in the management of international environmental projects has inspired me to act to develop and support innovative and practical solutions for effective capacity building and stakeholder engagement, working towards effective and sustainable change. Knowledge and understanding is the key!
My main experience is in the following areas: (i) international projects in the field of integrated water resource management, including the implementation of the Water Framework Directive in EU candidate countries; (ii) Policy development and implementation of legislation for pollution reduction and environmental quality standards; (iii) Stakeholder analysis and institutional capacity building; (iv) Expertise in the development of strategies for the treatment of agricultural, municipal and industrial waste waters; and, (v) Anaerobic digestion.
I have worked in the following countries: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia, Botswana, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Greece, Ireland, Lesotho, Macedonia, Malawi, Montenegro, Namibia, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Turkey, Uganda, USA and Ukraine.
I am actively involved in website design, which is focussed on providing support to individuals and organisations who provide services to help others improve their health and well-being, to improve their skills, or to protect the environment in which they live.
