I conduct research to learn about new climate projects, and share my learning through blog posts. Through my blog, I also share my field experiences from touring conservation sites across Africa. My research is grounded in ecological science, social science, and technical knowledge.
I am a researcher and writer covering nature-based solutions for climate change and stories of climate resilience.
My Research Pillars
-
This pillar focuses on understanding natural ecosystems, biodiversity, species interactions, and environmental processes. It helps deepen our understanding of conservation biology, ecosystem dynamics, and climate change impacts.
-
This pillar examines how human societies interact with the environment, including policy, economics, ethics, and sustainable resource management. It includes governance, and the role of economic incentives in conservation.
-
This pillar involves developing and applying technologies to address environmental challenges, such as, sustainable land management and climate adaptation strategies.

My enthusiasm for nature-based solutions began on my family’s farm in Zambia, where I witnessed the devastating ecological impacts of deforestation. In response, my father and I started a tree-planting project to restore the land. This experience taught me that meaningful solutions are grounded in science, connection, and community.
To deepen my understanding and impact, I earned a Master’s degree in Forestry from Yale School of the Environment with a focus on implementing nature-based solutions for climate change.
My goal is to use this platform to facilitate knowledge sharing and understanding among climate stakeholders.
