I am currently studying for a PhD in Human Geography under the Cambridge Trust Studentship at the University of Cambridge, supervised by Professor Rachael Garrett and co-supervised by Professor Johan Six at Cambridge University's Department of Geography. My PhD focuses on understanding the conditions under which supply chain sustainability initiatives can lead to agroforestry adoption and how that influences social and ecological outcomes in the cocoa sector of Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. I am also interested in landscape governance and restoration through Nature-based Solutions (NbS).

I have an interdisciplinary background in environmental science, ecology, and policy analysis. For my current PhD project, I am using a wide range of scientific methodologies and designs, including biomass and household surveys.

I grew up in the urban city of Abidjan in Côte d'Ivoire, but I prefer to spend most of my time in rural areas and green landscapes. I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and running with friends and family.

Before joining the Cambridge Conservation Research Institute (CCRI) at the University of Cambridge, I was part of the West African Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (WABES) program, where I received my MSc at the University Felix-Houphouet Boigny, Abidjan in Cote d'Ivoire.
