I'm an environmental educator and scientist with a PhD in physical oceanography who specialized in climate and data literacy. I design hands-on curricula and workshops that help learners explore environmental science through coding and real-world data. I co-created the PyClub program to make Python and climate science accessible and engaging for students and educators.

Originally from Suriname, South America, she is interested in (re)connecting folks to their environments by exploring the intersections of EDIJA (equity, diversity, inclusion, justice, and accessibility), and environmental and outdoor education with a particular interest in exploring how culture filters community sense-making around “environment/outdoor/nature-based” and learning.
