Message

At GIZ Indonesia/ASEAN, I shape communication around resilient nature, including biodiversity, agriculture, climate change, forests, marine ecosystems, wetlands, and nature finance.

Previously, I developed and implemented communications strategies for energy transition projects at GIZ Indonesia/ASEAN. My work included creating knowledge products, developing project narratives, and implementing outreach and campaign strategies.

At the Institute for Essential Service Reform, I coordinated communications across energy transformation, sustainable energy access, and green economy programs. I’ve also worked on public campaigns, media relations, social media, and community engagement, including at Green School Bali.
