    I am a Ph.D. researcher in landscape architecture, exploring restorative and regenerative green environments, environmental experiences, and human-nature relationships. My work focuses on understanding how natural spaces can support human well-being and foster meaningful connections with the environment. Collaborating with researchers, designers, and planners, I aim to promote awareness of the value of holistic and regenerative green spaces, especially in urban areas where they are most needed. By integrating diverse perspectives and expertise, I seek to develop solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
