From Passion to Profession: My Journey in Green Careers
Embarking on a green career journey is a unique and deeply fulfilling experience. For me, it all began in my childhood, when my love for nature was nurtured by my horticulturist father.

I didn’t know it then, but these experiences and countless hours spent climbing trees and helping my dad landscape shaped my path toward my current green career.
