Bio
Vildan Gökçebahar ŞAHAR
Karolina is a person that is one of a kind. She is very creative and intelligent. She is passionate about sustainability and sustainable goals. She has amazing communication skills and willing to help when you need it. She is striving for a more sustainable future which is admirable. We have studied together for two years and worked on many projects together. She is an exceptional learner and her knowledge of sustainability and circular economy are very extensive therefore, one could learn so much from her. I love her positive attitude and work ethic. She is definitely an inspiration to everyone that is around. I hope to work with her on different sustainability-related projects in the future. She is the best colleague one person can have.

Karolina is truly passionate and hardworking, which amazes me as she does this calmly and purposefully. I have been studying with Karolina for 2 years and have worked on various assignments during our master’s program in sustainability. By using her project management skills she has driven executed projects where her interpreting skills have been on point. She is multi-talented and has done a fantastic volunteer work through her own hobby working on a project on saving our oceans creating from and spreading environmental awareness through beach clean-ups. Karolina is a great teammate, patient, kind and respectful of others. I am sure that she will bring a lot of inputs to the company she shall join and offer the best practices for sustainable growth within the organization.
