Inglewood, Western Australia, Australia
I am a Master's student in Environmental Science at the University of Western Australia, specialising in environmental rehabilitation. I have a passion for nature and learning about the ecosystems, and addressing complex environmental challenges through science-based solutions. With over 8 years of hands-on experience across Hong Kong and Australia - including work in botanical gardens, nurseries, and bush regeneration - I bring both scientific insight and practical capability to the field. Currently I operate as a freelance gardener under my own sole trading business in Perth, Australia. I provide tailored garden care and landscape maintenance services, applying my horticultural and arboricultural knowledge to help clients improve and manage their green spaces. This flexible work complements my studies and keeps me connected to the field in a hands-on way. I’m actively looking for opportunities in the environmental science sector - particularly roles in ecological restoration, planning, and fieldwork - and I also welcome casual or part-time opportunities in garden care and maintenance.
