Currently, a PhD Student (2017-2021) in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Ă…bo Akademi University, Turku, Finland. I am w orking on career transition towards my fields of interest; Data Science and Circular Economy. Although, I do not have any professional background in either Circular Economy or Data Science, I have gathered well-developed soft skills throughout my research work which would definitely come handy in business environments. I have been educating myself through online courses. I am constantly working on updating my skills with regard to the fields I have chosen. I have started to learn to code since March 2020, and I am updating my coding skills continuously. I got certified in Data Science through IBM Data Science certification in January 2021. I have been following people and organizations to get a better understanding of Circularity & Environmental-Social-Governance (ESG) initiatives. I am currently studying Sustainable Finance on Coursera, whilst trying to wrap-up my research work. I am also working on a project to determine stock-price fluctuations of companies based on their ESG profiling determined from company annual reports and social media data. As a first-step towards this radical change, I am aiming to work as an Entry-Level Data Analyst or Data Analyst Intern.

I am incredibly fortunate that my life and career would entail developing relationships with people from diverse cultures, abilities, ages, and backgrounds. This, in turn, has developed my beliefs in community, collaboration, and education. I am committed to inclusion and equity through social and climate justice. It is my goal to match people with the tools and resources to help them best thrive through research and project development.

I have specialised in climate communications since 2007 when I produced a range of output for the BBC, winning awards for TV and web content production. Working with a range of charities and social enterprises I have written and delivered communications strategy and branding projects. I have produced a plethora of communications materials in digital and print as a freelance or employee. The circular economy and human-centred design are areas of particular interest.

A diligent, empathetic, methodical & resilient professional with a passion for developing people and culture. Broad and deep experience across tech, creative, education, finance & consulting sectors with a drive to improve. Leads with empathy, authenticity & trust focussed on building strong relationships, high-performing teams and consistent results. Enjoys thinking creatively, using evidence to inform insights, building new experiences and solving hard problems. Invests in people, ideas, experiments and macro trends with thoughtfulness about how technology impacts people and the world. Strives to bring energy, inquisitiveness, focus, transparency and calmness to teams. • 10 years building startups in senior Operations, Marketing & Product roles • 7 years personally investing in early to mid stage startups with ~30% IRR • 10 years collaborating with multinational corporates and SMEs Also, I've been researching the climate challenge for the last 4 years. During this time I've been able to sort-of manually track - using online tools - and reduce my family's carbon footprint to almost 1/3 of the national average through a bunch of thought and effort. In my opinion this has been a lot harder than it should be for everyday people like myself. Combined with the fact that the last third is pretty damn challenging to shift: it's mostly just existing in a developed Western economy, even if you're very intentional in your behavior and choices. To try to combat that last chunk of carbon, and to give myself a little wiggle room (as no-one can get excited about just existing in the 21st century), I've also been offsetting a whole load of carbon through a variety of projects around the world. Because they're currently so cheap $/ton I'm probably technically offsetting a considerable amount more than I consume or produce. Still, it doesn't feel like enough.

Dear ClimateBase Hiring Team, I am applying to this position in hopes to apply my current skillset and gain some technical experience as an engineer, as well as to find a place to begin my career. I am currently a fourth year undergraduate at the University of California (UC), expecting to graduate in the spring of 2021 with a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering. I decided to study mechanical engineering because of my interest for robotics, automation, and control systems, but my skills are not limited to mechanical engineering. I began to teach myself computer programming several years ago, and have improved phenomenally since then, mainly writing desktop and web applications in C and PHP to help automate certain tasks, such as a PDF generator to publish homework assignments quickly and a password manager that encodes data for safe storage. Although I originally learned coding for myself, I have found it to be very useful in several mechanical engineering, and other applications. I participated in the Biomedical Engineering Society's Make-A-Thon, a 24-hour design challenge to create a medical device. My team built a mechanical eyedropper, and I put together the circuits for the system and wrote code for our controller, an Arduino. A partner and I took this idea even further and entered an intensive 14-week business startup competition called UC PLASMA, where we connected with investors and potential clients and continued to refine our eyedropper device. We met with several people interested in our device including four ophthalmologists. It was a whole new look to engineering and I learned a lot during the competition. At the end of the competition, we took home both the most improved and the grand cash prizes. I have been fortunate enough to have real work experiences such as my time working at EA Capital Games or Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. I had a very exciting time working at EA as an intern on the server engineering team. The project I worked all summer long consisted of building a heatmap of in-app purchases around the world for our game, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. I was able to experiment with new tech stacks such as Redis+Websocket as proof of concept for Capital Games to use in the future. I got to work under an incredible mentor and had a great team always offering advice and connections which I did not take for granted. This was also during COVID, which gave me the unique challenge of working online. Outside of engineering, my hobbies include playing the piano and skiing. I am also very passionate about long distance running. I have completed a half marathon twice. I am also lucky to have family in two countries, the US and France. My family and I have traveled to France several times, giving me the unique opportunity to learn a second language from native speakers in the country. I am excited at the prospect of being selected for this role, with a great team. I look forward to being able to apply my unique dual set of engineering and computer science skills and to learn more. Please review my resume for more information and I urge you to contact me by email at ventura@nicven.com or by phone at (925)-212-8342 with any further questions you may have. Thank you for this opportunity, Nicolas Ventura

My name is Guillermo Fuentes I am a communications strategist with international studies on Climate change and Public policies. My experience includes design and implementation of wetlands communication campaigns, public relations with international organizations, radio broadcast, audiovisual production, content design, community management, and print design. I gained expertise working at both national and international projects for the United Nations, Transparency International, the Colombian Red Cross, The Nature Conservancy among other institutions. Within the activities of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP21, I participated in the Climate change storytelling contest: #Voices2Paris, my story about sargassum and climate change in the Caribbean was selected as one of the top 20, and published by the United Nations and by many international press agencies. I was fortunate to receive Honorable Mention in the massive communication category, during the “Nature Conservancy Awards 2016”, organized by the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources in Mexico. I am an analytical strategist with excellent communications skills. I have the ability to work within a multicultural team as well as a remote basis. Well-traveled, I have had the opportunity to live and explore, North America, the Caribbean and South America. I enjoy my free time out in nature, writing short stories, and exploring film poetry. Thank you for your consideration.
