Overview

Profile summary

I am working at the intersection between marine natural and social sciences. My work has focused broadly on the relationship between marine environment and human health and well-being, including looking at the well-being benefits of interactions with coastal blue spaces, and exploring how social-ecological stressors, including climate change and plastic pollution, may alter this relation.

I am also a documentary filmmaker whose works have been screened in the weekly "Melihat Indonesia" program of Metro TV, Indonesia and several international film festivals in Australia, Finland, India, and South Africa.
