Summary
Passionate about solving real-world urban and social challenges, I blend research, policy analysis, and stakeholder engagement to drive impact. With a Master's in Cities and Governance from TISS and global exposure at Roskilde University, I thrive in dynamic environments. From shaping skilling ecosystems to grassroots research, I bring an analytical mind and a people-first approach-because policy isn't just data, it's about creating real change.
