Assistant Research Officer, Climate Change at the Commonwealth Secretariat

Looking forward to heading back to Stockholm—a city that’s close to my heart. Two years ago, I got my introduction to the water sector with an internship at the Global Water Partnership. Now, I’m excited to return as a member of the Young Scientific Programme Committee for World Water Week, hosted by the SIWI - Stockholm International Water Institute. Talk about a full circle moment! Ready to contribute to this important event and to bring the perspective of the The Commonwealth, my new home! If you’re attending World Water Week, don’t miss the SIWI Seminar Series on Institutions for Water, Peace, and Cooperation. My colleagues and I will take you on a journey from local to global perspectives—join us for an insightful discussion! #SIWI #WorldWaterWeek #BridgingBorders #WaterForPeace #WaterAction #FosteringCooperation
