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.
