About me

 

I explore the intricate relationship between climate action and natural resource governance. My research examines green space governance in informal settlements, drawing on firsthand experience across Kenya, Germany, and East Africa to bridge global perspectives on environmental policy and urban development.

My journey in environmental research and policy spans continents and cultures. As a PhD candidate at the University of Bonn’s Center for Development Research (ZEF), I combine academic rigor with practical experience to address pressing environmental and developmental challenges. My background in international studies, environmental policy, and public relations provides a unique perspective on global environmental issues.

Research Interests

  • Climate action and sustainable development
