Polar Scientist; Multimedia Artist; conservationist; Writer; Yogini ... and what not.

Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of calling eight countries across four continents home, and each experience has deepened my commitment to multidisciplinary and cross-cultural problem solving.

Hence my mantra that a brighter global future thrives on bold actions and the courage to bridge disciplines and re-imagine norms. 

I am a research associate at Colorado State University, and am working at the Finnish Meteorological Institute. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's in Atmospheric & Climate Science at ETH Zürich. Though my interests, skills and projects always spill well past a syllabus, as this website hopefully shows.

My approach is inspired by what I call the "Patchwork Quilt Framework" — a way of piecing together diverse insights to form holistic solutions. Inspired by Margaret Atwood’s metaphor in Alias Grace, it draws parallels between creating a quilt by sewing together different pieces of fabric and piecing together a narrative from various perspectives.
