Description
I am a highly motivated and experienced ecologist with a strong background in ecological research and GIS application to landscape ecology. I graduated with a MSc in Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management and a Master in GIS Science and UAV systems.
I am proficient in utilizing software tools such as QGIS, ArcGIS, R, ENVI, and Metashape. I have successfully completed various projects in the field of pollinators and bird ecology, precision agriculture, coastal and mountain ecosystems. My expertise also extends to collecting and analyzing ecological data at local and landscape level. Recently, I completed a second level Master’s program in GIS science and UAV for Integrated Land and Natural Resource Management.
I strongly believe in sharing knowledge especially with new generations and that’s why I work part time as an Environmental Guide since 2018.
I am enthusiastic about expanding my knowledge and expertise, and I am eager to start building my ecologist career abroad . For these reasons I am studying Biodiversity Net Gain metrics and look forward to applying for CIEEM membership and protected species surveys licenses.
