I received the LaCaixa fellowship from King of Spain to pursue my PhD in behavioural change and circular economy, at Boston University. I won the Ibero-American Youth Award, handed by the President of Spain, in recognition for setting up the Circular Economy Club, and I have worked as the Government and Industry Affairs Coordinator at the World Travel and Tourism Council in London, managing relations between ministries and the world’s major 150 corporations in the tourism sector. I also worked in the Communications Department of the United Nations World Tourism Organization.

The Circular Economy Club is the non-profit international network of over 3,500 circular economy professionals and organizations from over 100 countries. Our vision is to live in an era where all cities function through a circular model, setting the end of an age of waste. The Club’s mission is to bring the circular economy to cities from Accra to Delhi, Quito to Amsterdam - by building strong local networks to design and implement circular local strategies, embed the circular economy in the education system and help circular solutions scale. The Club is managed voluntarily by a team of 37 worldwide volunteers and supported by 50 mentor, who have given 130 hours of free mentoring to start-ups and students, and by 200 organizers who voluntarily bring people together to design and implement local circular economy strategies in their cities. The circular economy is an alternative to the linear economy, where all products and services are designed with the intention to avoid waste, and used materials flow back into the system by being resold, shared, refurbished or recycled. When Organizers sign up to the program, they receive toolkits and communications materials, exchange knowledge with the rest of organizers globally, and they are able to coordinate their local communities.
