As a champion of our natural environment including the Ocean, Nikola has a deep passion, love, connection and respect to the Blue and Green. Using her voice to inspire and empower change through connection, Nikola is currently learning, exploring and innovating at the UNDP Barbados and Eastern Caribbean Accelerator Lab to co-create grassroots solutions in key Blue Economy sectors such as fisheries, tourism, renewable energy, waste management and restoration.
