More than five years of research, project management, and convening across three continents — at the Institute for Sustainable Finance in Canada, the International Institute of Green Finance in China, and UNEP FI in Switzerland.
I'm a sustainable finance researcher focused on the policies, instruments, and capital flows that move climate and biodiversity goals from ambition to implementation. My work sits at the intersection of green capital markets, transition finance, carbon markets, and infrastructure financing — across both developed and emerging economies.
Over more than five years I've coordinated and led research with partners including the UK FCDO, EBRD, Climate Bonds Initiative, UNDP, Energy Foundation, CPA Canada, IFAC, and A4S, and convened large-scale events such as the PSI & Swiss Re virtual series and the GRASFI 4th Annual Conference.
I hold a Master's and a Bachelor's in Environmental Studies (Sustainability Management; Environment & Business) from the University of Waterloo, and a Bachelor's in Business Administration from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics. I have passed CFA Level I and hold the SASB FSA Level I and LEED Green Associate credentials.

Beyond thought-leadership writing, I'm active in speaking engagements — trainings for government officials, panel discussions, live news segments, podcasts, and workshops. I've spoken at 15+ events, with selected recordings archived on LinkedIn.
Since 2024 I've grown a bilingual online presence — about 1,500 followers on each of LinkedIn and Xiaohongshu (小红书) — engaging audiences in English and Chinese on sustainable finance and development.
Have a research collaboration, speaking invitation, or just want to chat about sustainable finance? I'd love to hear from you.
