When not immersed in behavioural mapping or participatory fieldwork, you’ll likely find her scribbling thoughts into notebooks, painting in imperfect symmetry, or curating music. She travels not just for landscapes, but for people and stories—quiet observations of nature often sneak into both her work and her writing. As for cooking… that’s a hobby too, though she admits enthusiasm and results don’t always arrive together!
