Through this conference, I aim to engage with researchers and practitioners advancing climate adaptation, agricultural sustainability, and rural development. My current research focuses on evaluating adaptation interventions and assessing the risks of maladaptation in agricultural systems. I am particularly interested in building long-term collaborations with international colleagues and Canadian institutions that provide an enabling environment for research at this level. Beyond scholarly exchange, I hope to explore opportunities for postdoctoral or collaborative projects that connect science, policy, and practice to foster more effective and equitable climate adaptation pathways.
