  DHL Supply Chain (Patagonia)

  Nov 2019 - Aug 2020

  Environmental Specialist

  My experience at DHL Supply Chain was one of the best that I have experienced. Unfortunately COVID-19 cut it short.... While there, I supported the Patagonia East Coast Distribution Center. As the Environmental Specialist, I worked to identify and reduce energy use, helped make the business more sustainable and played a integral part in aligning how business was conducted, with regard to environmental impact. As a team, we worked towards the goal of being a Zero Emissions Logistics company by 2050. One of my major contributions was to raise environmental awareness among the associates, through training and various GoGreen initiatives, along with supporting local environmental initiatives, such as Earth Conservancy and the Sugar Notch Hiking Trail.I am dedicated to leaving this world a little better than I found it, and I was honored to be part of a company that does the same, even though it was for too short of a time.
