What are you currently doing and where?

I am an independent consultant at the Asian Development Bank, where I lead knowledge management and strategic communications for a technical assistance project focused on strengthening women's resilience to heat stress in Asia and the Pacific. Feel free to check out our work on gender and heat stress.

How do you use what you learned at LSE Gender in your current role?

At LSE Gender, I learned to always keep gender in focus. In my role, I ensure ADB’s communications are gender-responsive and that women's voices are central. This focus helps highlight how climate resilience and gender equality intersect, recognizing women's needs and contributions rather than overshadowing them with broader sustainability or economic goals.

What advice do you have for current and/or prospective LSE Gender students?

LSE was my playground for exploration and growth— so I’d say stay curious and open-minded! Embrace solidarity, but don’t be afraid to challenge assumptions and always speak up.
