MEDIA &
EVENTS
Here you’ll find a snapshot of some of the media features and events I’ve been part of, from podcasts and interviews to panels and school talks.
I love connecting with audiences to spark curiosity about water, share insights on infrastructure, and open up conversations around STEM, women in STEM, and the journey of professional migrants.
