I'm a PhD-trained environmental scientist and biologist with 11 years of experience delivering end-to-end environmental datasets and assessments. From sampling design and field coordination to statistical modelling in R (GLMs/SEM), QA/QC, visualization, and regulator-ready reporting, I have supported biodiversity monitoring, EIA/RIMA, and environmental licensing across agribusiness, bioenergy, mining and infrastructure. I excel in field-to-report data management, evidence synthesis, and clear stakeholder communication, with a compliance-first mindset.
