I am a persuasive and diversely skilled executive leader with over 6 years experience in renewable energy project development. I have over 10 years experience managing a broad spectrum of legal and compliance affairs related to project development, environmental and social governance.
Women's skills, expertise and voices are important in achieving gender-just energy transitions that will help realize global climate goals. As women work as project managers, in energy funding initiatives, and even as end-users of hydrogen derivatives, their participation and contributions are paramount. Networking, sharing experiences and knowledge can help us empower each other in this journey to realize a gender-just energy transition. This platform by highlighting expertise and knowledge of women in hydrogen, also strategically positions such women's voices in discussions on green hydrogen. It positions women to influence policies that integrate the gender equality dimension in the journey towards gender-just energy transitions.
I've had a career as a manager and legal practitioner working in renewable energy project development and compliance. I am knowledgeable on global environmental governance issues, with over 10 years’ experience tackling sustainability, gender and human rights issues in different spheres: civil society, government and the corporate world. I have developed wind and solar projects in Kenya and undertaken sustainability assessments to align these projects with the IFC Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability. I have also drafted and negotiated bankable project agreements for renewable energy projects. I am certified to undertake environmental impact assessments and audits, as well as strategic environmental assessments.
