Message

At UNESCAP, I conducted research on climate impacts, early warning systems, and socioeconomic vulnerability in Asia-Pacific. I contributed to more than 20 publications and knowledge tools, including the Asia-Pacific Disaster Reports (2023) and ESCAP's Disaster Risk and Resilience Portal.

I coordinated the visual and editorial design of publications and blogs, and supported coordination for high-level meetings. I also coordinated workshops and trainings on climate adaptation and early warning, including event planning, reporting, and travel arrangements.

At Niigata University, I managed operations for five international climate-focused campaigns across South-East Asia and developed risk mitigation strategies and go-to-market plans. At Metro Shipping Co., LTD, I drafted reports and tracking tools for sustainability initiatives and supported ESG branding and sustainability reporting.
