About

I work at the intersection of urban resilience, climate justice, and cultural conservation, connecting the physical, ecological, and human dimensions of how communities survive and adapt.

My background spans urban design, environmental conservation, UN intergovernmental processes, and community engagement. What runs through it all is the same question: who gets to shape the conditions they live in?

Today I work with organizations designing resilience strategies, conservation plans, and capacity-building programs that hold both the urgency of the climate crisis and the depth of the communities navigating it, including artisan communities whose knowledge systems are among the most sophisticated climate adaptations ever developed.
