About me

I am an urban geographer, systems thinker, and researcher rooted in Nordic planning principles and enriched by international perspectives.

I critically evaluate urban policies and grassroots initiatives with a deep commitment to equity, well-being, and our connection to nature. Driven by zest, empathy, and passion, I collect and share knowledge to empower communities, designers, and policymakers to reimagine cities as interconnected, community-centered socio-ecosystems.

​My work is dedicated to creating better urban futures by transforming cities into resilient spaces that nurture both people and nature.
