Conservation Investment Manager seeking work in Europe

Most recently I worked for the New Zealand Government as an Investment Manager. I managed a portfolio containing several environmental science contracts with research institutes across the country. I was responsible for ensuring these institutes were utilising the funding to deliver tangible impact, build research capability and ultimately achieve economic, environmental and social benefit for New Zealand.\r\n\r\nBefore that, I worked for an Ecosanctuary as a Visitor engagement officer. I was responsible for educating and communicate a variety of conservation issues to them. I needed a comprehensive understanding of local conservation issues, species and current efforts to mitigate these issues. I aimed to improve people\'s understanding of the environment and stimulate their minds to be more conscious of the impact (positive and negative) they can have.\r\n\r\nLastly, I worked as a Duty Manager at a bar, where I was in charge of all aspects from kitchen to restaurant. I developed strong communication skills from interacting with a variety of clients, staff and senior management. I was involved in training new staff, enforcing strict alcohol and food policies and resolving conflict.
