What I'm looking for
At Wetlands International, I’m contributing to Barrier Report 2.0 for NL2120, analyzing socio-economic, political, institutional, and data-related barriers to Nature-based Solutions. My work includes stakeholder interviews and qualitative data coding.
I’m also supporting the Rooted Resilience project’s mangrove restoration initiative in the Casamance Delta, Senegal. Alongside this, I contribute to proposal development, data communications, and GIS-based analysis for scientific publication.
Through IAAS, I’ve worked across local, national, and global levels on project design, policy advocacy, and partnerships. I’ve represented youth perspectives at international platforms including COP 27, COP 28, the World Food Forum, and SB62.
At iDE, I worked on a Carbon Credit Piloting Project focused on regenerative agriculture, including farmer training, stakeholder engagement, and project design. I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Development and Rural Innovation at Wageningen University & Research, with a focus on connecting science, policy, and practice for sustainable and inclusive development.
