Biography

I am reading for a MSc in Environmental Change and Management through the University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute. I have previously worked in corporate social responsibility in Haiti, on food systems in Brussels, and in international development cooperation at the UN Office for Project Services in Copenhagen.

Here at Oxford, I am working with the Oxford Development Consultancy, and Said Business School’s Circular Economy lab. I am also a member of the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship’s Leading for Impact programme, and the Lively World’s Oxford Praxis lab.

My area of interest is climate and development, particularly the intersection of social justice, environmental issues, and sustainable development. I am always enthusiastic to engage in discussions of environmental justice and climate justice, and am eager to support climate action initiatives. For my master’s thesis I am researching the concept of a ‘just transition’ in agriculture, particularly looking at what this means for smallholder farmers in developing countries. In the long-term, I am keen to work towards a future that is socially and ecologically just and regenerative.
