I have over 15 years of experience as both a researcher and practitioner. As an academic, I use an interdisciplinary environmental science approach to discover the local impacts of global environmental problems and issues of power imbalance, social justice, human vulnerability, and resilience in the context of change. As a practitioner, I am a vice director at one Hanoi-based NGO to work on natural resources governance, policy, and advocacy, with broader partner networks of policymakers, civil society, and the private sector.

Educated in Vietnam (BSc.), the US, the Netherlands (MSc.), and Switzerland (Ph.D.), and long-term work as an environmental policy analyst, I pursue a transformative career pathway as a knowledge broker at the interface between science-policy-society, to support an evidence-based decision-making process. My fieldwork has concentrated on mainland Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia) and has started extending to other Global South, such as East Africa.
