Climate research, knowledge management & international collaboration

I’m interested in how environmental and social problems affect everyday life, especially for young people. My work combines research, organizing useful knowledge, and coordinating people across languages and cultures.

My background spans statistics, digital consulting, influencer campaigns, international events, and education. Across these settings, I’ve worked on a practical set of tasks: understanding information, explaining it clearly, and coordinating the people needed to move a project forward.

I’m a Knowledge and Management Intern at GGGI and an NYPC Fellow with PEACEMOMO. My interests center on climate and sustainability, young people, and turning research into practical action.

Outside work, you’ll often find me walking, writing morning pages, listening to jazz, or learning a language. I like a life with room for both purpose and discovery.
