With a Research Master’s in International Development Studies and a Bachelor’s in Global Development and Geography, my work is driven by a commitment to fostering sustainable and just futures through community-led action and justice. My expertise lies in climate change, community development, and gender, with hands-on experience in collaborative research with Indigenous communities in the Global South:

• Master’s Research: Focused on Indigenous Women-Led Climate Change Adaptation Efforts in Palawan, Philippines, conducted in partnership with Community Centred Conservation Philippines and the Tagbanua Community.
• Bachelor’s Research: Examined the Conflict Between Survival and Sustainable Environmental Management among Indigenous Tribal Communities in Northern Thailand, collaborating with Karen Hill Tribes Trust and Global Vision International.
• Additional projects include exploring gender inequalities in Nakuru, Kenya.

I also contributed to the 2023 Community Climate Action Toolkit, providing practical guidance for community groups tackling climate change. I joined as a Research Fellow with the Schumacher Institute (UK) and COMMEET (Netherlands) and later became an Associate Research Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, participating in the Climate Change Research Group.

Most recently, I worked as an Environment and Sustainability Consultant, supporting initiatives in energy efficiency, waste management, and social impact. While my career has spanned NGOs, think tanks, and government organizations, I am deeply interested in community-level conservation and collaborative projects in the non-profit sector, both locally and internationally.

Despite my experience, I have found it challenging to secure employment opportunities post-graduation. I am excited to join WildHub to expand my network, seek guidance, and connect with peers and professionals. I would love to hear from:

• Early-career conservationists, researchers, and consultants navigating similar challenges.
• Experienced professionals who can share insights or tips for breaking into this competitive sector.

Let’s connect and collaborate to advance impactful conservation and development work!
