Climate communications and partnerships professional building global climate and sustainability collaborations.
What I'm looking for
I am a climate communications and partnerships professional with experience engaging global climate professionals, policymakers, multilateral institutions, and civil society to strengthen visibility and build strategic collaborations across climate, agri-food, and sustainability ecosystems. I have represented organizations at UNFCCC COPs, FAO’s World Food Forum, and the St. Gallen Symposium, led multicultural teams across six continents, and delivered outreach initiatives that resulted in 20+ partnerships.
My work blends narrative strategy, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement: from founding and directing Poetry For Planet to serving as Senior Associate at G20 - Youth20 India and advising international NGOs. I leverage poetry and storytelling for cultural diplomacy, have public-facing experience at high-level global events, and bring skills in negotiation, strategic analysis, and youth engagement to drive impact-oriented climate initiatives.
