My name is Bojan Krkoska, a multilingual MSc Sustainable Resources graduate from UCL. Currently based in Edinburgh and looking for opportunities in environmental services. My goal is to help companies and communities achieve their net zero targets and shift to a more circular economy. My key area of expertise is circular economy, particularly circular business models and industrial symbiosis. I am also proficient in LCA software as well as qualitative data-analysis software. I have worked in sales and as a market researcher in various sectors but I am most fond of my time spent as a junior researcher at EIHP, a state-owned scientific institution where I contributed to INSIGHT_E policy reports and various Horizon 2020 projects.

I enjoy walking and the outdoors, especially as part of motorhome-based family weekends away or trekking holidays. I engage in community volunteering to assist vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. I take an interest in reading and hearing talks about travel, overcoming personal adversity along with the history of exploration and science. I work in food safety as a pest industry Field Biologist and am looking to move into a sustainability-focused role; I have undertaken the IEMA Certificate of Environmental Management and am currently an Associate Member of IEMA.

From a small village in the Scottish Highlands, I have always been surrounded by nature and felt a passion to protect it. Over the past 3.5 years studing an undergraduate degree in Environmental Management at SRUC Edinburgh, I have developed a passion for sustainable development, particularily relating to resource recovery and circular economy. I'm excited at the prospect of helping find solutions to modern day problems, and a firm believer that small changes made nationwide can make a very large impact. My fourth year dissertation is focusing on food waste recovery within rural areas of the Scottish Highlands, and identifying the other benefits this could bring such as community development and economic savings.
