About Me

I am a dedicated PhD Candidate in the Graduate Programme in Sustainability Science at the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo, specialising in climate change education. With over six years of experience in this field, I have developed and implemented innovative educational programmes designed to empower children and youth to take meaningful action against climate change.

My research focuses on integrating climate change education into Indonesia’s formal education system, exploring how global perspectives can be translated into local practices. As a Doctoral Research Fellow with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, I am actively engaged in policy analysis, curriculum development, and enhancing educational strategies through collaboration with schools in Indonesia.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I serve as a Cross-Cultural Education Facilitator for the Ministry of Education in Indonesia, fostering partnerships between Indonesia and Japan that promote mutual learning experiences. I also work as an SDGs Coach with several organisations in Japan, where I have contributed to the learning of over 2,000 students.

I believe that education is a powerful tool for nurturing the next generation of global leaders, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to tackle pressing environmental challenges.
