What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my marine biology training, ecological fieldwork, and biological data analysis to ecological research, data management, statistical analysis, or scientific writing.

I’m a First-Class BSc (Hons) Marine Biology graduate with strong training in ecological research, biological data collection, and quantitative analysis. I have experience managing, analyzing, and interpreting biological and environmental datasets using R/RStudio, Excel, and statistical methods including GLMs, GAMs, ANOVA, and regression. I’m skilled in data visualization, spatial analysis, and mapping using tools such as tidyverse, ggplot2, QGIS, and sf, with experience applying these skills to independent research projects.

I also have practical fieldwork experience across the UK and Indonesia, and have developed a strong ability to collect accurate, consistent data, work effectively within teams, and maintain attention to detail under challenging conditions. I’m a methodical and adaptable researcher with strong scientific writing, communication, and problem-solving skills.
