Amber Reader

I am a forward-thinking professional with a passion for sustainability and an extensive academic background to support my ambitions. As a recent graduate of the University of Bath, I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Sustainability and Management, complementing my undergraduate degree in sustainability. With this dual foundation, I have developed a profound understanding of sustainability principles and their integration into various aspects of business and society.

During my academic journey, I demonstrated a commitment to excellence by consistently achieving high grades and actively participating in research projects focused on environmental conservation and sustainable business practices. These experiences have equipped me with a deep knowledge of sustainability frameworks, environmental policies, and sustainable management strategies.

My studies have not only enriched my theoretical understanding but have also instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility towards creating a greener, more sustainable world. I am eager to leverage my expertise to drive positive change in the corporate sector, where sustainability is increasingly becoming a strategic imperative.

My academic accomplishments, combined with my enthusiasm and dedication, and some work experience position me as a highly qualified candidate for roles that require a holistic understanding of sustainability and the ability to integrate it into management practices. I look forward to contributing my skills and knowledge to organizations committed to sustainable development and innovation.

Currently serving as a Student Fellow at Change The Chamber remotely in Washington, D.C., I play a pivotal role in advocating for science-based climate change policies and project management within a national coalition. My teamwork and leadership skills shine through as I collaborate on research, projects, and grant proposals while ensuring effective communication among team members during core team meetings.

In my previous role as the Congressional/Corporate Outreach Co-Lead, I spearheaded communication and research efforts with over 60 congressional staffers and members to advance pro-climate legislation. I strategically organized teams for midterm elections and authored persuasive op-eds to promote impactful climate action and environmental justice measures. Additionally, I engaged with corporations to foster environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.

My commitment to sustainability extends beyond advocacy, as I have served as an Independent Contractor for the Department of Energy, conducting extensive research to enhance accessibility and information on green and sustainability-focused degrees across the United States. As a Student Intern with the U.S Partnership for Education for Sustainable Development, I efficiently managed multiple project deadlines, contributing positively to sustainable development efforts.

Furthermore, I have been actively involved in several impactful projects, such as a consulting project for Lloyds Banking Group, where I contributed to an ESG Rating Report and conducted a comprehensive GAP Analysis, presenting findings to senior staff members. I also co-hosted three UNEP Solutions Summits, empowering educators and students for meaningful engagement in the transition to a greener economy. My contributions to open-source educational materials, the development of an online knowledge exchange platform, and the co-authorship of an environmental changemaker toolkit highlight my dedication to sustainability.

My ability to conduct data-driven market analysis and my innovative thinking were evident in a research presentation to a national home improvement retailer, positioning them as a trusted voice in the sustainable energy sector. Additionally, my work on promoting reusable items on campus garnered recognition and a sustainability award nomination
