What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in Nepal where I can support wildlife and conservation research using GIS and field surveys, collaborate with communities on climate adaptation and DRR, and grow my research, facilitation, and reporting skills.

I’m an aspiring Environmental Science postgraduate in Nepal, building hands-on experience through ecological surveys, community-based data collection, and climate adaptation engagement. I combine GIS and remote sensing with field data collection and participatory approaches, and I’m especially motivated by wildlife research focused on carnivores and pollinators ecology and conservation.

In my recent roles, I’ve supported wildlife monitoring using GPS and camera traps, contributed to data entry and preliminary analysis for socio-economic surveys, and worked as a research assistant designing survey tools and questionnaires. I also facilitate youth-focused climate change adaptation sessions and contribute to community education and outreach for disaster risk reduction, while strengthening my research and communication skills through proposal and report writing.
