About

Elvia's research explores the use of realistic geographic visualizations as tools for participatory planning and stakeholder engagement, particularly in the context of integrated land use planning for climate change, biodiversity, and public health. Through a community-based approach and the Climate-Biodiversity-Health (CBH) Nexus framework, her work explores how visual tools can support collaborative decision-making and inclusive public sector planning.

With a background in geography and professional experience in both the public and private sectors, she brings a strong foundation in GIS, digital tools, and user-centered design to her interdisciplinary research.
