I am a medical student at Karolinska Institute (KI), Sweden, with an interdisciplinary background from studies at Minerva Schools at KGI. My focus is on creating system-based solutions to tackle the complex challenges from climate change on global health through research and policymaking. I recently debuted as author in an international publication with policy recommendations, work with youths on in Sweden and globally on policy projects and I am a research assistant at the Center of Excellence for Sustainable Health. I am excited to utilize the opportunities through Masason Foundation to collaborate with other members to work on innovative, creative and interdisciplinary solutions.
