Turning coastal carbon into projects that get built, financed, and verified.
As Senior Nature-based Solutions Specialist at EcoSecurities, I coordinated the technical development of blue carbon and peatland projects under Verra and Gold Standard, from the first feasibility question through to registration.
I also lecture on blue carbon within an MBA on carbon markets, and my current research examines how existing carbon-project standards can unintentionally hinder mangrove conservation and restoration.
Led feasibility studies and authored project design documents to Verra and Gold Standard methodologies.
Steered projects across the development cycle, from baseline and additionality to registration.
Lecture on blue carbon within the Universidade do Carbono MBA on carbon markets and projects.
Research on how current standards can hinder, rather than help, mangrove restoration.
