I have spent over a decade working on a single question in different forms: how do we keep wild landscapes functioning while the people who share them thrive?
That question has taken me from field sites to regional offices, from ranger training rooms to donor boardrooms, and from ground counts to satellite time-series. My background is in [degree, institution]. Since then I have [career arc: key employers, regions, step-changes in responsibility]. Today I lead [current role and scope], covering [countries and landscapes].
Evidence first
Conservation decisions made without data are expensive guesses. I design research that answers the question a manager is actually facing, not the one that is easiest to publish.
Technology in service of the field
Satellite imagery, AI and spatial modelling are only useful when a ranger, warden or planner can act on the output. I build systems people actually use.
Institutions outlast projects
A trained team and a working monitoring system deliver long after the grant closes. Capacity building is not an add-on to my work; it is the point of it.
