Profile
I am a researcher with a passion for environmental governance, political and queer ecology, and climate and water justice. I have over three years of experience in conducting and supporting research projects on various topics related to these fields. I have also completed academic degrees in human geography, politics, philosophy, and environmental studies from Australian and Dutch universities.
Currently, I work as a researcher for the Global Commission on the Economics of Water (GCEW), where I contribute to developing new data and insights on the social and economic dimensions of water. Before this I worked on the Earth Commission, where I helped identify instruments and organisations for meeting the sustainable development goals within Earth system boundaries.
