Impact Lead - Nature
Phone: +47 488 62 433

Championing nature restoration that works for people and planet.

As Lead of GRID-Arendal's Nature Impact Area, I coordinate our work on environment & security, environmental crime, and the ocean. We know that environmental conservation and restoration works best when governments, communities, researchers, companies, and conservations work together. I am driven by the opportunity to build healthy ecosystems that support human livelihoods, health, and wellbeing.

What I Bring

My background is in international development, climate & environment, and peacebuilding. Before joining GRID-Arendal, I managed the climate research alliance between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, and Exeter in the UK. Prior to this, I coordinated humanitarian logistics in South Sudan, Haiti, and Nepal, most recently with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). I hold a Master's degree in Environment, Development & Peace from the UN-mandated University for Peace in Costa Rica, and a BA in International Relations & Japanese from the University of Leeds, UK.

My Focus Areas

  • Leadership in Governance & Policy Shaping
  • Immersive Storytelling & Strategic Communication
  • Catalytic Knowledge & Insight Generation
