Thanks for visiting my website! I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher at UC-Santa Barbara (emLab) and Princeton University (High Meadows Environmental Institute). My research focuses on the relationship between environment and development and explores how households across The Global South are affected by environmental change and the climate crisis. I received my PhD from the London School of Economics (Department of Geography and Environment and the Grantham Research Institute). From August 2024, I will start as an Assistant Professor of Environmental Policy at Penn State (School of Public Policy).
In addition to my academic work, I am passionate about sharing my struggles and experience through mental health outreach. You can read more about my journey here and some blog posts on lessons learned from 25 years of mental health challenges and how this experience has taught me the importance of making my mind my friend.
