Presented at the 10th Anniversary Symposium of @ubcoceans.bsky.social about my PhD research on blue carbon mangrove projects, climate finance, and coastal communities, focused on the Vida Manglar project in Colombia. Grateful for the inspiring researchers I got to share to share my work with!

Changing the carbon tax into carbon credits and other market based approaches shouldn't be the sole climate action that Canada pursues, but current unregulated carbon markets do need government oversight to ensure equitable and effective outcomes for communities. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHl2...

I was selected as a recipient for the 2025 International Development and Research Council of Canada’s Doctoral Awards! I’m honoured that my PhD research on how coastal communities are impacted by blue carbon projects was selected in the ‘sustainable inclusive economies’ stream @ires.ubc.ca
