I'm an interdisciplinary researcher with a doctoral degree in Climate Change and Marine Ecosystems. My research primarily focuses on developing, implementing and evaluating the impacts of climate change on marine socio-ecological systems. In addition, I have extensive work experience in facilitating stakeholder engagement and supporting decision making for climate adaptation strategies. I have worked in the science-policy interface supporting evidence informed policies in the public sector. As a means of informing and engaging communities in environmental matters, I develop projects that merge art and science on the topic of ocean soundscapes and marine conservation.
