MEd in Education Leadership, Policy and Change (Monash University, Australia) 
Specialty: Project Management, Education and Gender

I am a program specific researcher at Kyoto University’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) and the project manager of the Maritime Asia Heritage Survey (MAHS).

I obtained my M.Ed. in Education Leadership, Policy and Change from Monash University, Australia in 2009. I have experience working with international NGOs and the UN on tsunami reconstruction and development in Indonesia. Since 2013, I have been involved in several research projects, including work on female education leadership and female livelihoods in post-tsunami Aceh. I also managed the ‘Aftermath of Aid’ research project, a collaboration between the International Centre for Aceh, Indian Ocean Studies (ICAIOS), and the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

In the ensuing years, I have expanded my managerial roles, first in 2015, with the Aceh Geohazard Project (AGP), which combined geology, geomorphology, history, and archaeology to better understand the past occurrence of tsunami in Aceh. In 2018, I joined the Maldives Heritage Survey under the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OXCIS) to document endangered tangible cultural heritage in the Maldives. I travelled with an international field team across six atolls in the Maldives for more than two years as Project Manager. In early 2020, I moved to Kyoto to coordinate the work of the project’s field teams in four countries and manage the Maritime Asia Heritage Survey while based at CSEAS.
