Biography
I am a first-year PhD student in Global Sustainable Development. My research explores art-science collaborations within exhibition spaces as pathways to addressing global sustainability challenges, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With experience as an assistant curator on art-science projects and policy analysis at the British Museum, I bridge theory and practice to foster impactful collaborations. Engaging with Warwick’s vibrant research networks, I aim to advance innovative solutions for sustainability through creative and transdisciplinary approaches.
