I’m an environmental scientist with 10+ years of experience turning complex data into clear, actionable insights. My day-to-day work involves analyzing ecological trends, managing conservation projects, and writing grants to support sustainability efforts. But beyond spreadsheets and reports, I’m passionate about how cultures shape—and are shaped by—the world around us.
That’s why I created Ubuntu Journeys, a blog dedicated to celebrating cultural exchange. Here, people from all walks of life share personal stories about their traditions, identities, and connections to community. A grandmother in Vietnam recounts her family’s Tết rituals. A musician in Ghana explains the history behind Highlife rhythms. A chef in Mexico shares how her abuela’s recipes carry generations of resilience. Through photos, interviews, and essays, the blog fosters empathy by showing how our differences make humanity richer.
My photography skills help bring these stories to life. Whether capturing a bustling Moroccan souk, a quiet tea ceremony in Kyoto, or the vibrant hues of a Diwali celebration, I focus on moments that reveal shared emotions—joy, grief, pride—that transcend borders. Behind the scenes, my project management experience ensures smooth collaboration with contributors worldwide, balancing deadlines and cultural sensitivities.
While my environmental work focuses on data and ecosystems, Ubuntu Journeys is where I explore the human side of global connection. It’s not about policies or statistics; it’s about people. How a simple “hello” in someone’s mother tongue can spark friendship. How a shared meal becomes a bridge. How stories, passed down or newly written, remind us that we’re all part of the same tapestry.
Let’s collaborate to blend analytical rigor with cultural curiosity. Whether advancing environmental goals or amplifying voices through storytelling, I’ll help your organization build bridges—because understanding each other is the first step to building a better world.
