Work with me

I work with cities, developers, foundations, conference organizers, and research institutions — through keynote speaking, strategic advisory, and research partnerships. Here's how.

Keynote Speaking

Example keynote

I speak on urban nature, emerging technology, and public health — at conferences, summits, and festivals worldwide. Past stages include TEDx, Google, The Next Web, and the Partners in Community Forestry Conference.

150+ keynotes across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia. Research-led, accessible, and built around the specific needs of each event. Available in person or virtually. Topics include: urban forest management, nature (re)connection, biodiversity monitoring, nature and public health, the Internet of Nature® framework, and the future of cities.

Dr. Nadina Galle's work is visionary. We were fortunate to have her speak at our Landscape Ontario Congress on the Internet of Nature. She is an excellent communicator but most importantly she is inspirational. Nadina stretches our minds and imaginations and most importantly communicates the “why” of our green profession. I highly recommend her as a keynote speaker."

Consulting & Advisory

Example workshop

I work with cities, real estate developers, investment firms, and foundations as a strategic advisor and project partner — at the intersection of urban nature, technology, and public health.

Recent work includes advising a pan-European investment firm on biodiversity monitoring technologies across a multi-country residential portfolio, helping shape the next decade of park management at Mexico City's Chapultepec — one of the largest urban forests in the world — supporting municipalities on urban forest master plans, and advising a US-based health foundation on a multi-million dollar research initiative into urban nature and human health. Always rigorous and tailored to each client.

As a true collaborative partner, [Nadina] facilitated a series of discussions to help us internally align on priorities and build hypotheses to test with the prototype. These conversations were critical to ensuring the broad knowledge of our internal stakeholder groups was brought to bear on the prototype.*

Research Partnerships

Example partnership

I collaborate with research institutions and innovation programs on applied urban ecology — bringing together ecological science, emerging technology, and real-world implementation. As a research affiliate at MIT's Senseable City Lab, I work on applied urban ecological research and the evaluation of new technologies for urban nature management. As a Van Leer Foundation Fellow, I explore the intersection of urban nature and the earliest days of life — in and out of the womb. And at Vineland Research and Innovation Centre, I work to advance the Greening the Landscape Research Consortium, a unique (and highly effective) industry-led model that brings together researchers, municipalities, and private partners to tackle the most pressing challenges in urban forest management.

If you're working at the intersection of cities, nature, and health — and looking for a research partner with both academic credibility and field experience — I'd love to hear about it.
