What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build a research and academia-focused career using GIS, remote sensing, and drone-enabled data. I want to contribute to environmental management and climate change solutions through innovative, data-driven projects.

I’m a young, dynamic, results-oriented graduate of Forestry and Wood Technology with strong research, analytical, and geospatial skills. I’m passionate about pursuing a career in research, building data-driven studies that support environmental management, climate change mitigation, and sustainable natural resource use.

My work centers on GIS, remote sensing, land use/land cover change, and coastal/mangrove ecosystems, including research contributions on mangrove restoration and coastal ecosystem management. I’ve supported field and spatial workflows with drone operation and data acquisition, and I contributed to raising approximately 1,000 seedlings of Tectona grandis for experimental and restoration purposes, alongside producing a published spatial analysis study.
