PROFILE

SHORT BIOGRAPHY

As a social scientist with a PhD in sustainability and development, my research deals with the intersections of climate risks, vulnerability, social protection, resilience and wellbeing. I am particularly interested in understanding the role of social protection to managing climate risks for marginalised people living in the Global South, with a focus on promoting social protection programming that is just, equitable, and sustainable. I am experienced in mixed methods research design and qualitative methodologies. My strengths lie in applying participatory approaches to the design, implementation and evaluation of development projects that inform development policy and programming.
