My background is in international development, climate & environment, and peacebuilding. Before joining GRID-Arendal, I managed the climate research alliance between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, and Exeter in the UK. Prior to this, I coordinated humanitarian logistics in South Sudan, Haiti, and Nepal, most recently with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). I hold a Master's degree in Environment, Development & Peace from the UN-mandated University for Peace in Costa Rica, and a BA in International Relations & Japanese from the University of Leeds, UK.
