FIELDWORK EXPERIENCES





I bring over a decade of extensive experience in field research, reflecting a diverse range of hands-on engagements in both scientific research and biodiversity management.  It spans various disciplines, from investigating biodiversity in reef-to-ridge ecosystems to immersing myself in anthropology fieldwork. These experiences underscore my versatile training and practical proficiency across multiple domains.
