I am a fervent Research Scientist with over 15 years of experience in environmental sustainability, sustainable forestry, landscape governance, climate change, and ecosystem health restoration, regreening of humanitarian landscapes.

My career has been well-anchored by the ability to utilize a strong blend of excellent analytical, strategic and interpersonal skills to develop processes, streamline procedures, increase productivity and find innovative cost-effective solutions. A resilient implementer who discovers untapped possibilities leads teams to bold action and drives each project from start to finish.
