#introduction2 #Introductions
Just migrated to this server so thought I should reintroduce myself:
Design #anthropologist, women's rights advocate, and co-founder of an ethnographic UX firm working on community-centered approaches to #disasterriskmanagement and #climate #adaptation .Also a trainor in nature-based solutions #NbS for #flood management, focusing on women's and community inclusion. Interested in small island disaster management #disasterjustice and #coastal adaptation - my nearly finished PhD is on this topic.
Dogs, books, coffee, beaches, ideally all of them at once.
Looking for like-minded people for though-provoking conversations! Without the toxicity of the bird, of course.
