About

I am an Environmental Engineer (specialization in Environmental Impact Assessment and Ecological Restoration) with a MSc in Forest Ecology, with experience in applied ecological research and a strong interest in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), environmental monitoring, and land management. 🏞️ I am interested in contributing to projects involving spatial analysis, ecosystem monitoring, environmental impact assessment, and ecological restoration, supporting evidence-based decision-making through GIS and environmental data analysis. 🗺️ I have experience using RStudio, QGIS, and ArcGIS for the analysis and visualization of environmental data, gained through both my academic training and research projects in forest ecology and vegetation science. 🌱 My professional experience has so far been focused on research, where I have developed strong skills in fieldwork, environmental data analysis, interpretation of results, and collaboration within international teams. I am now looking to apply this experience to projects in environmental monitoring, geospatial analysis, and the sustainable management of natural resources.
