Hi, I’m Kirsten!

I am an early-career researcher dedicated to preventing potential catastrophic disasters from biological agents through responsible biosecurity governance. My primary focus is on enhancing policy intervention strategies, particularly about emerging technology, in scientifically under-resourced countries.

With a background in global health research, community engagement, journalism, and health promotion, I am planning for a career in biosecurity governance and further education. I am deeply committed to including underrepresented groups in biosecurity leadership and enhancing both regional and global resilience against catastrophic biological risks.
