Sowing Seeds for Success through Synergies

I work at the nexus of science, policy, and community resilience, focusing on Earth’s isolated and sometimes neglected ecosystems such as mountains, polar regions, and remote coastal areas. As an expert and self-professed plant nerd with over 10 years of experience in ecology and human wildlife conflicts, I leverage my technical expertise to help nature survive AND thrive.

What I Bring

I bring a multidisciplinary background in ecology and earth science and with experience in stakeholder engagement, on-the-ground management, and the science-policy-management interface. I design projects that connect data with action, ensuring that scientific information works for both global leaders and on-the-ground implementers, and ensuring uncertainty fuels curiosity, not inaction.

My Focus Areas

  • Catalytic Knowledge & Insight Generation
  • Leadership in Governance & Policy Shaping
  • Systems Intelligence & Project Stewardship
  • Collaborative Facilitation & Transformative Engagement

In My Own Words

″I am driven by the power of discovery and insights that lead to a practical change in the way we do things.″
