What I specialize in

I’m a sustainability‑driven environmental engineer whose primary focus is on safeguarding water quality and guiding infrastructure toward minimal ecological impact. Over the years I’ve developed and applied innovative biological treatment processes—most notably microalgae‑based systems—that significantly improve effluent standards and promote circular‑economy principles in wastewater management. In parallel, I’ve led comprehensive environmental impact assessments for major cross‑border projects (such as undersea power interconnectors), working hand‑in‑hand with regulatory agencies and diverse stakeholders to ensure every phase—from site selection to construction—respects both ecological thresholds and community needs. While I’m also versed in energy compliance and performance optimization for the built environment, my true passion lies in marrying rigorous water‑resource engineering with holistic, landscape‑level planning. Fluent in Italian and Hebrew and seasoned in technical translation, I bridge cultural and professional divides to foster collaborative, sustainable solutions across Mediterranean and Israeli markets.

Previous projects

Over the course of my career, I have immersed myself in the science and practice of water‑resource engineering. My first foray was as a wastewater‑treatment intern at Aquanos Energy Ltd. in Rishon Le‑Tzyon, where I researched and piloted microalgae‑based bioreactors to polish industrial effluents. That experience taught me how to design and troubleshoot biological processes that not only meet stringent discharge limits but also recover value from waste streams. Building on that foundation, I joined VDP SRL in Rome as Environmental Impact Assessment Editor and Contact Manager. There I led the preparation of EIA documentation for the EuroAsia Interconnector and other major cross‑border infrastructure projects, coordinating with Italian and Israeli ministries to ensure every study addressed habitat protection, water‑body integrity and social considerations. My role demanded fluency in complex regulatory frameworks and an ability to translate technical findings into clear recommendations for engineers, policymakers and local communities. In parallel, I’ve engaged with the built environment as a Project Developer at Studio Anav, where I managed structural, architectural and HVAC designs through detailed Building Energy Modelling. While energy optimization was the primary goal, I always wove in water‑sensitive design—rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse and landscape‑scale runoff control—to achieve truly integrated sustainability. More recently, at MLG Consulting I’ve served as a technical and cultural liaison between Italian and Israeli engineering, architecture and hi‑tech firms. Here, my fluency in Italian, Hebrew and English—and my knack for precise translation—has enabled partnerships on both water‑quality and environmental‑compliance fronts, ensuring that cutting‑edge solutions transfer smoothly across borders.

How can I help you

Drawing on more than a decade of hands‑on work in water‑resource engineering and environmental impact assessment, I partner with companies to weave sustainability into every stage of their projects. I help evaluate and upgrade treatment systems to not only meet the strictest discharge limits but also recover resources and lower operating costs. I guide teams through the full EIA process, from scoping to public hearings, crafting clear, robust documentation that secures permits efficiently and aligns stakeholders around actionable mitigation plans. And whether you’re planning new facilities or retrofitting existing assets, I integrate water‑sensitive design into masterplans to advance true water‑cycle neutrality. Beyond technical deliverables, I bridge cultural, linguistic and organizational divides. Fluent in Italian, Hebrew and English, I facilitate joint ventures between Mediterranean and Israeli partners, handling everything from precise translation of technical reports to high‑level stakeholder workshops. I also offer tailored training sessions for in‑house teams, translating complex scientific concepts into clear, actionable protocols so your organization builds lasting capacity. Whether you’re a developer looking to optimize your next industrial plant’s effluent system, a municipality preparing an EIA for critical infrastructure, or an engineering firm pursuing circular‑economy certification, my consultancy brings the interdisciplinary insight and cross‑border know‑how to turn sustainability goals into measurable success. Let’s discuss how we can shape your project’s water‑and‑environmental strategy to maximize compliance, minimize impact and unlock regenerative value.
