#WomenInScience Day reminds us to recognize and appreciate the immeasurable contributions of women in science and technology. On this day I am especially grateful to the many mentors who helped guide my career journey in science.

Today marks five years since I joined UNEP as Director of the Ecosystems Division. What an incredible journey it has been working with brilliant colleagues across the Division. I look forward with optimism and filled with pride for the bright future of the Ecosystems Division.
