Summary
Phannisa N is a Data Specialist at the United Nations in Bangkok with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience at the intersection of development policy, urban planning, and data analytics. She has led national and city-level initiatives—from integrating UN-Habitat monitoring frameworks into Thailand’s national plans to supporting Voluntary Local Reviews and waste-management tools for municipalities—bridging technical data work and stakeholder-facing policy design. Trained as an urban planner and architect (UW–Madison MUP, Chulalongkorn architecture), she combines GIS development and spatial design skills with practical program implementation across UN agencies and Thai government bodies. Known for translating complex urban data into actionable guidance, she also contributes to data governance and civic data empowerment efforts within UN Thailand. A detail that often surprises collaborators: she pairs formal urban-planning rigor with hands-on field tools like the Fukuoka Method and Waste Wise Cities Tool to drive sustainable city outcomes.
