About me
I am Filipina 🇵🇠interdisciplinary researcher who focuses on food security and climate change. Currently I am a postdoctoral researcher at Instituto de EcologĂa y Biodiversidad (Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity) based in Chile. I am working on “Mapping the Interactions between Nature, Health, and Development amidst environmental crises and the COVID-19 pandemic (MINHD)” funded by Centro Basal IEB ANID / BASAL FB210006 y a travĂ©s del Instituto de EcologĂa y Biodiversidad (IEB) con aportes de contraparte de FundaciĂłn Anglo American.I am also an honorary Senior Research Fellow at the Manila Observatory and a fellow at Parabukas, an environmental law and policy consultancy in the Philippines.
Biography
I worked with the UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources as a NERC-funded post-doctoral fellow on the BIOTA project, where I contributed to research on the interconnections between agriculture, biodiversity, climate change and international trade. I co-authored three peer-reviewed publications and a major report on Net Zero in agriculture for HSBC.I worked on the assessment of the projected impacts of climate change on wheat production with a multi-method approach at the University of Sheffield Department of Geography for my PhD. I was funded by the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment as the flagship PhD Cohort of the Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures.
Prior to my PhD, I worked in the Philippines at the Ateneo de Manila University School of Government, Department of Biology, and the Manila Observatory, where I taught and conducted research on risk and resilience to natural hazards such as tropical cyclones. I conducted training on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation (DRR-CCA) extensively across the Philippines in partnership with Local Government Units and Civil Society Organizations.
In 2012 I finished my dual-MSc degree in Environmental Science (ENVEURO) from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU) and the University of Copenhagen, where my Masters research was on the impacts of climate change on banana production. My Bachelor of Science degree was completed at the University of Oregon (BSc Biology, minor in Comparative Literature and Chemistry). I have worked as a naturalist intern with the Audubon Society (Aullwood Audubon Center and Farm, OH) in the United States.
I care deeply about environmental education, and I have extensive teaching and training experience across many educational levels (Masters, undergraduate, professional, and for children and adults). I am recognised as an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
