About

I am a Climate Project Manager with a unique background combining climate advocacy, gender-just climate solutions, and hands-on work with remote mountain communities. As a Board Member of CAN EECCA, I advocate for stronger climate action, civic participation, and inclusive regional climate policies. I work at the intersection of project implementation and policy engagement, ensuring that community needs and justice principles guide climate decisions. Passionate about equitable climate solutions and youth engagement, I collaborate across sectors to support just transitions and empower local communities facing climate impacts.
