hello,

My name is Amy Brooke - thanks for checking out my site!
I work as a freelance consultant across the sustainability landscape.

By birth, I am a sun-loving Zimbabwean woman, and by training, an Environmental Engineer & Systems Thinker educated at some of the world’s top institutions.

Essentially, I am a polymath, passionate about all things sustainability and open to tackling any kind of complex challenge in the field.

My personal mission is to contribute to sourcing, creating and financing a network of high-integrity sustainable development projects across Africa, at scale. I seek to build bridges connecting the people on the ground with sources of capital, so we can co-create an equitable, just and thriving future for all.

After completing my schooling in Zimbabwe, I studied Environmental Engineering at Harvard College. Following this I received my master’s from Cambridge University in Engineering for Sustainable Development where my deep study focused on large scale water supply systems.
I have since worked in London in carbon project financing, developing a comprehensive understanding of the Voluntary Carbon Market.

I am personally very interested in all things related to freshwater, trees, and the preservation and rehabilitation of bio-diverse wild spaces, particularly in Africa.

My studies and curiosity have taken me far and wide and as a result I’ve developed a diverse menu of skills and service offerings that span the sustainability sector.

I am keen to continue expanding my knowledge of the field, and keep growing my client portfolio, so even if your work seems unrelated to my existing skillset, please do get in touch.
