I’m an environmental and water-engineering specialist with experience in climate work, hydrotechnical planning, and international sustainability initiatives. I hold Level 7 qualifications in both hydrotechnical engineering and water supply–sewerage systems, and I enjoy combining technical knowledge with clear, people-focused communication. In recent years I’ve also discovered a strong passion for design — from illustration and graphics to UI and creative visual work — and I’ve been actively learning and developing my skills in this direction. My background spans diverse global experiences, including hospitality, outdoor activities, and volunteering abroad, all of which have strengthened my adaptability and creativity.
