I am a social environmental researcher with international experience.My research focuses on natural resource management institutions at different scales (projects, communities, nation state, and transnational organisations) in contested environments.

I am currently learning to speak Mapuzungun, which is a relevant skill to have in my current position as academic in Temuco.
