I am Executive Director of the Patriotic Vision Organization and a Permanent Representative at the United Nations. I have written and implemented many humanitarian, development and environmental projects, and while I really enjoyed the work that I did, I’d love to work with UN environment and other youth.

Our environment is threatened by plastic pollution and climate change. We all have a role to play to protect our only home and today it mainly depends on youth. We need youth use less plastic, increasing green areas, care about wildlife, care about oceans and embrace waste to wealth. We believe that integrated waste management is crucial and work with schools, universities and communities to sort waste and deliver the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. We believe working with a new generation can beat plastic pollution and the 8 million tons of plastic that end up in our oceans each year. Patriotic Vision is an non-government organization with special consultative status at the United Nations, seeking to promote social civilization, and raise the well-being of the individuals and societies, working on peace building and saving human rights. Patriotic Vision desires that every youth has an opportunity to live a full life. It aims at contributing to the United Nations goals of Youth 2030 which is to contribute to communities. It also seeks to empower youth to be agents of change.
