About me
I am an interdisciplinary researcher, focusing on how extractivism and climate change threaten glaciers, rivers and wetlands in the Andes, and how this influences water access and justice for local communities. I am interested in how to study and respond to environmental transformations in a way that addresses, rather than ingrains and perpetuates, existing climate inequalities and coloniality. My research sits at the intersection of political ecology, science and technology studies, and critical remote sensing. I specialise in interdisciplinary research, integrating ethnographic and participatory methods with physical geography to address socioenvironmental injustices.
My PhD (2022-2025) is titled, “There is no relation between science and justice”: Geographies of glacier harms and water scarcity in the context of global extractivism in Chile’. This project is funded by the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Environmental Intelligence (EICDT), and supervised by the interdisciplinary team of Dr Steven Palmer, Dr Ernesto Schwartz-Marin, Dr Sally Rangecroft, and Professor Stephan Harrison.
Before my PhD, I completed a training year as part of the EICDT at the University of Exeter, where I studied critical social science approaches to the use of big data and machine learning for addressing environmental challenges. During this year I also trained in remote sensing and machine learning. In 2021, I graduated from the University of Cambridge with First Class Honours with Distinction in BA Geography.
