I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Rutgers University’s Department of Human Ecology, affiliated with the Megalopolitan Coastal Transformation Hub (MACH) where I work with the Human Systems Dynamics Team.
I am a climate adaptation and mitigation policy, crisis and emergency management, environmental and energy security expert with a well-established career in the academic, corporate, and not-for profit sectors as an analyst, business developer, data analyst, project manager, and researcher.
My research interests focus on the nexus between climate, environmental, energy, and human security. My goal is to explore a variety of topics failing in this nexus with the intent of strengthening communities’ resilience to climate change-resulting crises.
