Biography

I am a first-year Master of Environment and Sustainability student at the University of Toronto. Prior to beginning my graduate studies, I held research positions at global and US-based non-profit environmental organizations. At the Science Based Targets initiative (2018-2022), a pioneering standard-setter and validator of corporate climate targets, I authored resources that established the scientific foundation for science-based emissions targets. Such targets now cover nearly half of global market capitalization. During my years at Greenpeace USA (2022-2025), I conducted research that informed campaigns advocating for halting the expansion of US gas export infrastructure and protecting the right to protest.

Current research

My masters thesis research examines whether and how voluntary regulatory programs in the mining sector influence local contestation to mining projects. Separately under the PARLAP project, I am analyzing the social diffusion of community-scale conservation initiatives in the Peruvian Amazon.
