Hi there, I'm Ben.

I want to build a world in which people flee to safety, not more vulnerability. Along the way, I'm pursuing experiences that help me push that agenda, or grow into someone that can.

So far, I've:

• Started a microgreens farm to address malnutrition in Zervou Refugee Camp.
• Led a team building emergency shelters in Moria Refugee Camp.
• Served as an infantry officer.
• Designed programs to protect smallholder farmers from climate shocks.
• Attempted to publish a card game (unsuccessful! But ongoing).

If you're reading this, feel free to reach out to share ideas, or just to say hi!
