Qaainat’s Interview:
Where is home for you?:
Currently, I live in Denver, Colorado!
What made you decide to join the Sustaira team?
I was drawn to the ability to be able to work with an awesome team while also being able to give back and feel like I am contributing towards a better sustainable world. My previous experience has been in the biomedical sciences field and having the opportunity to expose myself to research again particularly involved in developing innovative solutions that contribute to sustainable practices is very exciting to me!
What is your role at Sustaira?
I am part of the development team with expertise in front-end development and design! I aim to create and develop visually appealing user experiences and collaborate with clients to meet their business needs.
What does sustainability mean to you?
Sustainability involves being aware and mindful of your actions as an individual, making considerate choices, and taking even small steps towards a more natural and ethical way of life.
Where do you believe technology meets sustainability in your vision?
Technology plays a significant role in promoting sustainability, especially through the use of social media platforms and online resources to raise awareness and encourage eco-friendly behaviors in the community. Additionally, the ability to monitor and measure sustainability initiatives using data analytics and reporting tools not only fosters a heightened sense of environmental consciousness but also reinforces the importance of implementing responsible business practices.
Tell us a little bit about you! Just a couple of fun facts or something people may not know. What do you believe people need to know about you?
I currently live in Denver, Colorado, and I've had the pleasure of exploring its hiking trails in every season! There's something special about gaining perspective from the summit of a mountain and soaking in the breathtaking landscape. Apart from hiking, I find joy in reading, crocheting, and experimenting with new recipes!
