I am committed to leading and advancing applied interdisciplinary research and entrepreneurial efforts to identify evidence-based solutions to social, environmental, and climate adaptation challenges.
My applied research journey began nearly 20 years ago with citizen science projects that bridged science with society. Recently, since 2022 to 2025, I led a transcontinental Climate Adaptation Research Program (CARP) that supported early career researchers in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands. These scholars worked in teams to conduct research in their communities that improves disaster preparedness, response, recovery and resilience in the context of extreme weather events.
Through this process, I cultivated partnerships with networks of universities and individuals in the private, public, and civil society sectors. Together, we developed a collective ambition and strategy to facilitate pathways for regional emerging scientists and decision-makers to devise evidence-based and context-specific solutions to mitigate risks to extreme climate events.
Now, I am eager to build upon these connections, experiences, and collective ambitions in my next career steps. I am looking to connect with like-minded collaborators and colleagues to promote action-oriented research to mitigate climate hazard risks and the sustainable governance of the environment and natural resources.
I am currently updating my online portfolio…. stay tuned for updates!
