I am a passionate ecologist with a keen interest in observing our natural world in its purest form, while applying my knowledge and skills to promote sustainable conservation. My background is focused on botany, entomology and research, including both field and administrative responsibilities. I have extensive experience in conducting fieldwork in extreme environments, working both with a team as well as on my own. I am accustomed to the long hours spent on data collection and sorting, and have experience in vegetation surveys, including plot and transect layouts.
