What I'm looking for

I seek a role leading field-based biodiversity monitoring and conservation programs that values community engagement, rigorous data-driven methods, and opportunities for mentorship and impact.

I am a dedicated wildlife ecologist with extensive field research and project management experience across Sumatra, Java, and Kalimantan, focused on biodiversity, primate research, and habitat assessment.

I have a proven track record executing complex biodiversity surveys in diverse Indonesian ecosystems—from peat swamps to montane forests—and I manage camera trap arrays, post-release monitoring, and biodiversity data synthesis.

In my recent role as Operational Manager at The Aspinall Foundation I directed biodiversity monitoring, standardized GPS/Avenza mapping protocols, managed technical reporting for government and international stakeholders, and designed community-focused conservation campaigns.

I also bring teaching and supervisory experience—mentoring 22 student researchers—and a strong academic background with an M.Si. in Primatology and a B.S. in Biology, which underpin my technical skills in QGIS, Avenza Maps, Garmin BaseCamp, flora identification, and habitat suitability mapping.
