In my commitment to raising awareness about Kiribati and other vulnerable low-lying coral atoll nations, I’ve actively engaged within and beyond academic spaces. By delivering lectures, sharing frontline realities, and amplifying the lived experiences of those most impacted by climate change, forced migration, asylum-seeking, and domestic violence, I aim to bridge the gap between data-driven discourse and human stories.

​

I’ve come to believe that humanizing these overlapping global challenges—whether rooted in environmental degradation, displacement, or intimate partner violence—requires more than research and reports. It requires listening deeply and telling stories that foster empathy, challenge assumptions, and catalyze action.

​

Storytelling has been at the heart of my work. Through collaborations on four distinct projects centering frontline perspectives, I’ve seen firsthand how narratives can shift understanding and stir collective responsibility.

​

I’m eager to build on this work by collaborating with individuals and institutions committed to social justice and humanitarian engagement. Together, I hope we can further illuminate the complex and interconnected human dimensions of climate change and social vulnerability on a global scale.
