## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm seeking GIS analysis, environmental data analysis, sustainability analysis, research, or other climate-focused work where I can apply spatial analysis, field data collection, and cross-functional collaboration.
```

## About

```text
At Planeteers, I designed QGIS workflows to identify optimal sites for marine carbon dioxide removal deployment and built a Europe-wide geospatial resource database used by sales and operations teams.

I'm completing an M.Sc. in Sustainability Science, with thesis research on GIS-based environmental suitability for scaling carbon dioxide removal in North and Baltic Sea coastal regions. My background in environmental geoscience includes field sampling, ICP-MS support, soil nutrient-loss modeling, and water-quality testing.
