What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to engage in research and teaching while contributing to environmental sustainability.

I am a motivated individual with a strong work ethic and the ability to work independently. My academic background in Ecology has equipped me with a solid foundation in statistical techniques and data analysis, particularly in the context of social-ecological systems. I have developed a keen interest in marine, coastal, and aquatic ecosystems, as well as fisheries, which I explore through ongoing academic investigation.

Throughout my studies, I have gained practical experience in various roles, including as a Business Development Executive and an Impact Analysis Researcher. My work has involved identifying sales leads, conducting interviews with award winners, and developing databases for environmental and sales development projects. I am skilled in using tools such as Salesforce, RStudio, and ArcGIS Pro, which enhance my ability to analyze and communicate complex data effectively.

As a teaching assistant and active participant in extracurricular activities, I have honed my communication skills and ability to collaborate with diverse teams. I am passionate about teaching and sharing knowledge, and I strive to contribute positively to the field of ecology through my work and research.
