From data pipelines to muddy boots in the field
Bio
I am a GIS and Remote Sensing analyst with experience in UAV flight operations, geospatial data analysis, and field-based environmental work. I completed my college education in the United States and currently work in Indonesia on peatland, forest, and climate-related projects.
My work covers the full UAV workflow, including flight planning, data collection, processing, analysis, data management, and QA/QC. I also have strong field experience, including peatland surveys and supporting biodiversity and animal surveys in challenging tropical environments.
In addition to technical work, I am involved in community development activities, such as designing and implementing community surveys and organizing group meetings. My background allows me to connect geospatial data, field realities, and community engagement to support practical and reliable project outcomes.
