Biography

My lies at the intersection of cultural heritage and climate change, exploring how heritage can contribute to a sustainable and resilient future. By framing heritage as a community praxis of engaging with the past in a spatial context, I integrate digital tools and data-driven methodologies to develop innovative approaches that connect conservation with broader social and environmental challenges.
