A Bit About Me
I’m an MBA/MEM candidate at Yale, focused on tropical forest agroecology, sustainable sourcing, and circular economy strategies. My work bridges field research, international policy, and market-based solutions. I’ve delivered agroforestry trainings for smallholder farmers in the Dominican Republic (USAID), contributed to sustainable value chain strategy and impact measurement with Instituto Meio in Brazil, and conducted environmental policy research at the UN in Geneva. I was also part of the founding team at Youth4Nature, where I helped shape the organization’s early vision and later led its Private Sector Taskforce to advance justice- and biodiversity-centered climate solutions.
Before grad school, I built and led the Research & Analysis Team at Energy Solutions, identifying high-impact decarbonization strategies across U.S. state and utility programs. I’m currently in Brazil with the Earthworm Foundation, working on deforestation-free sourcing strategies for soy. I’m also building NeuroPuffs, an early-stage functional snack venture upcycling food waste with adaptogenic fungi to reimagine sustainability in consumer goods.
In everything I do, I try to connect the dots between people, ecosystems, and disciplines and turn those insights into meaningful action.
