What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining field monitoring and data-driven analysis where I can implement sustainable solutions, collaborate with communities, and grow in environmental management.

I am an efficient and diligent environmental scientist with hands-on experience collecting and analysing environmental samples from air, soil, and water, and developing actionable plans to prevent and remediate pollution.

I managed and coordinated a water cleaning project, collaborated with local stakeholders to implement sustainable treatment solutions, and have participated in invasive species removal and ecosystem restoration projects.

I combine fieldwork and community engagement with data analysis and AI modeling (Python on Google Colab) to generate insights, evaluate risks, and support evidence-based environmental management and advocacy.
