I joined GRID-Arendal in 1998 and manage the various functions of the Project Support Office to ensure the efficient and timely delivery of operational, financial and administrative project support services.

My professional background includes more than 25 years of experience in communication, outreach, research, teaching and museum administration. Prior to joining GRID-Arendal, I was outreach coordinator for the Program for Southeast Asian Studies at Arizona State University where I led a programme that provided a comprehensive set of resources for teaching about Southeast Asia in K-12 classrooms. 

I hold degrees in anthropology from the University of the Philippines and Arizona State University.  I love to travel, but when I’m home I enjoy gardening, embroidery and reading.
