A doctoral candidate at the Centre for Communication and Social Change, my project is at the intersection of communication (online and offline), sustainable tourism and environmental management, ultimately focused on communication for social change. The project explores effects of media on communities affected by tourism and climate change. It has the potential to create ripple effects in community based tourism through participatory methods and improved communication for climate change. With prior experiences in consulting and the start-up ecosystem, future goals lie in policy development, Social Impact Assessments and creating change at the grassroots.
