Environmental Dimensions of Conflict in the Lake Chad Region
Understanding how environment, conflict, and livelihoods intersect in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions
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.In My Own Words
