I am a Sustainability Educator and Transdisciplinary Researcher working at the intersection of human–environment relations, education, and collaborative knowledge-making. My work explores how people learn to engage with ecological uncertainty, multispecies coexistence, and socio-environmental change, and how education can support meaningful sustainability transformations. Trained in psychology and anthropology, I bring together environmental social science, sustainability education, and the environmental humanities. I approach sustainability not only as an environmental challenge, but as a pedagogical one, shaped by emotion, ethics, culture, and lived experience. My research draws on ethnography, participatory and experiential methods, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and multimodal documentation.

Over the past fifteen years, I have conducted field-based research in diverse and fragile environments, including coastal India and Aotearoa New Zealand. Much of my empirical work uses human–shark relations as a lens to understand conflict, care, fear, and coexistence in sustainability contexts. Education is central to my scholarly identity. I design and teach interdisciplinary, experiential learning environments informed by project-, problem-, and challenge-based learning and transformative learning theory, with a strong commitment to knowledge for the common good. If you want an even sharper homepage one-liner or a LinkedIn version, I can do that next.
