Summary
For some time now, I have wanted to enter the energy sector, focusing on the green transition. My main aim when looking for a career is to find a positive role in the fight against the vast environmental challenges that we are facing today. In the context of the ongoing energy crisis and the looming climate emergency that threatens our very way of life, I would feel a great sense of accomplishment if I could contribute positively to being part of the solution.
