Beyond Academia

Before returning to full time research, I spent three years as a Senior Consultant in Net Zero Sustainability Transition at Equatorise Ltd. I’ve also worked as a Research Fellow and Project Coordinator on multi country research grants exploring climate and environmental policy.

Alongside my career, I founded Cerita Iklim, a youth led climate community, and IBUK (Ibu Berdaya di UK), a community connecting and supporting Indonesian mothers across the UK.
