I am currently serving as a consultant for the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC-UNESCO), leading the coordination efforts for the Asian node of the Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOP) Programme, which is endorsed under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).

I also play an active role in the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), serving as a co-chair of the Advisory Panel on ECOPs and collaborating with dedicated colleagues from both sides of the Pacific. Originally from landlocked Switzerland, I'm an interdisciplinary ocean researcher and ecological economist specializing in the science-policy interface. Drawing from my past research and consultancy experiences in Canada, Indonesia and Japan, I have cultivated a deep passion for marine conservation, coastal community resilience, fishery systems, and the promotion of trans-disciplinary collaborations.
