I am a feminist parent, environmental-social scientist, and social-ecological justice activist. Over the past decade, I have worked alongside hundreds of local and indigenous communities on issues of food security, biopiracy, land use & tenure, labor migration, climate impacts and household wellbeing. I have also worked with non-profits, think tanks and educational institutions, such as the IPCC, OECD, Wilson Centre and the University of Wisconsin, exploring climate change adaptation initiatives, climate/environmental justice, ecosystem services and social-ecological systems research.
