Susan Honjo Knodel

Architect, I managed many projects in Brazil, Japan and Switzerland. I supervised all the stages of projects as well as the follow-up of building sites (monitoring and evaluation) with different professionals. I have worked closely with clients and other core decision-makers. That has helped to improve my client relation and communication skills to enable me to readily identify and resolve customer needs.

I was also engaged on Master and PhD researches in sustainable environmental design and energy efficiency which gave me a strong understanding of project management frameworks. I was interested on the impact of building design on human behavior, health and well-being.

Nowadays, I leverage my career experiences on Human Resources. I realized that my true work fulfilment and purpose are related to people, their well-being in work environment, their career development and integration. Those activities fit properly to my communication, managerial and organisationl-multitaking skills. I am passionate for this dynamic and multicultural work environment. I speak several languages (French, English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and little bit of Japanese).

I am currently completing a degree in Psychology and a professional course in Digital Learning Design and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
