What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to environmental research, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development work through field research, data management, programme coordination, and collaboration with government, communities, and private-sector partners.

I've supported environmental research and biodiversity projects with the Artisanal Gold Council Philippines, GHD Pty. Ltd., and CELPA, Inc., collecting reliable field data, coordinating stakeholders, and producing technical documentation.

For the GEF-funded ASGM National Action Plan baseline inventory study, I facilitated field interviews, encoded data, coordinated with local and national agencies, and delivered more than 40 high-accuracy maps. At GHD, I facilitated 50+ stakeholder interviews and 20+ focus group discussions while managing field data and technical logs for four large-scale energy projects.

I'm committed to biodiversity conservation and sustainable development through evidence-based research, programme coordination, and collaborative work with government, private-sector, and local-community partners.
