Annabel is committed to building a world capable of withstanding the uncertainties of our changing climate where both society and the environment thrive. She is passionate about strategic thinking and new innovations to build more resilient communities.

In her role, she developed bespoke resilience strategies, facilitated best practice sharing, and organized convenings for thought leadership and issue advocacy.

Prior to the American Flood Coalition, Annabel worked at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the Stratospheric Protection Division where she led market research, cost-benefit analyses, and the creation of data models to inform public-private partnership development.

She presented her dissertation research on equity in climate adaptation planning with a case study of Dhaka, Bangladesh at the Twelfth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts and Responses hosted by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in 2020.
