Iqra Zubair – oikos Nottingham
Hi, I’m Iqra, an Economics student working in RWE, a sustainability leading energy company. I was the former president for oikos Nottingham chapter, which I revived after 2 years of inactivity. I have multiple experiences in the sustainability industry, from speeches in conferences to hands-on charity work. With 5 years experience in social media freelancing I would love to bring creativity into the team.
When not busy, you will find me travelling, exploring different cultures, taking pictures or crafting.
I am very excited to continue my journey with oikos International.
The next oikos Board will be elected at the Legislative Meeting on 26 October. Each chapter needs to register a representative in order to vote on its behalf.
