GCRF-funded research project building understanding of the physical, socio-economic and cultural drivers of risk in the Guatemala cordillera. Interdisciplinary research, decolonial theory, and embedding disaster risk reduction in human rights frameworks.
Our recipe book is finally published! Have a look at some of the recipes from Tz'utujil Maya women from our "Recipes for Recovery" project.
This work was part of my contribution to the @gcrf-ixchel.bsky.social based at the @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social as a postdoc.
Thank you all who contributed! 🌱

Fuego volcano, Guatemala, in silhouette at sunset, with ash drifting up from its summit crater.
Floofy black and white cat sleeping on my lap at my desk. Very cute. He has tufts of fur pointing out between his toe, also known as bean sprouts.
Me and a group of awesome grad students and our awesome cook in El Salvador on an NSF-funded International Research Experience for Students interdisciplinary research project on water scarcity.
Collaboration is the best. Pic of me and friend/research collaborator Dr Ailsa Naismith drinking coffee in front of Fuego Volcano, Guatemala, both with big smiles. Her mug reads “broken crayons still color.” Mine reads “love yourself.” We bought them during our grocery run because it made us laugh to think of them living at the volcano observatory, where we’re pictured.
Hi Bluesky! I research communication, relationships, and decision-making for risk reduction with a focus on volcanic hazards 🌋 and an eye on equity. Background in geology, Spanish, geophysics, journalism, and social science (broadly). Here for science and cats and new ideas about everything.
