Riza Aryani

Riza is a Senior Research Manager at SecondMuse based in Lombok, Indonesia. As part of the Impact, Research and Learning team, she manages research and provides analysis support for programs across the company. Through data collection and analysis, her work contributes to strengthening their program design and implementation.

Through her research, Riza seeks to understand how change happens, and how it can benefit the community and the environment. She believes in the power of getting the story right, including understanding how change affects different groups and communities differently. Riza has extensive field and research experience focused on addressing complex collective action problems such as tropical deforestation and rural development in Indonesia. Having worked directly with government stakeholders, communities and farmers on the ground, Riza has developed an appreciation for the challenges of translating data and information into actionable plans on the ground.

When not working, Riza spends her time hiking, snorkeling (or just be at the beach), and learning how to grow flowers.
