I hold a Master’s degree in Geography with a specialization in Earth Observation and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Over my career, I have applied GIS, remote sensing, and Earth science methods in professional and academic settings, including international development, conservation, and natural resource management projects. In my current role as an Ecosystem Services Technology Officer, I lead initiatives that use GIS and AI to support climate resilience, biodiversity monitoring, and sustainable forestry — directly connecting geospatial science to global sustainability challenges.

I have more than 10 years of teaching, mentoring, and training experience. This includes guest lectures, hands-on workshops, and international conference presentations, where I have trained students, practitioners, and professionals in the use of ArcGIS, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, and related tools. My teaching approach emphasizes practical application — for example, using satellite imagery to analyze deforestation in tropical regions, mapping water resources for development projects, or evaluating urban heat islands to guide city planning.

My tutoring experience spans undergraduates, graduate students, and adult professionals. I have worked one-on-one and in group settings, supporting learners in understanding both foundational concepts and advanced methods in GIS, remote sensing, and environmental science. I adapt my approach to each learner, breaking down complex workflows into clear steps, using visuals and case studies, and connecting technical skills to real-world issues such as international development, conservation, and natural resource management.

Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I have over 15 years of experience in data analysis, specializing in statistical modeling, spatial statistics, and visualization for international development, conservation, and natural resource management. My expertise includes cloud platforms such as Google Earth Engine and AWS for large-scale data integration and analysis. I have trained students and professionals in applied analytics through workshops, one-on-one tutoring, and technical lectures, helping them master both foundational methods and advanced workflows. My approach emphasizes hands-on practice with real-world datasets so learners gain both confidence and practical skills in data analysis.
Data Science

Data Science

I specialize in spatial statistics and cloud-based data science applications with over 15 years of professional experience. My work has included designing machine learning and statistical models on cloud platforms such as Google Earth Engine, AWS, and Microsoft’s Planetary Computer. I have trained students and professionals in applying these tools to international development, conservation, and natural resource management challenges. My tutoring emphasizes hands-on modeling with real-world datasets to help learners master both foundational concepts and advanced spatial analytics in the cloud.
Earth Science

Earth Science

I hold a Master’s degree in Geography and am PhD candidate with a focus on Earth Observation and environmental monitoring. With over 25 years of professional experience, I have applied Earth science methods to climate, sustainability, international development, conservation, and natural resource projects worldwide. I have taught and mentored undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals in areas including geology, climatology, hydrology, and environmental systems. My approach emphasizes connecting Earth science fundamentals with real-world applications such as climate resilience, biodiversity protection, and sustainable resource management.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

I hold a Master’s degree in Geography and have over 20 years of experience applying environmental science to conservation, climate resilience, and natural resource management worldwide. My professional work has focused on topics such as ecosystem services, biodiversity protection, and sustainable forestry, supported by advanced GIS and Earth Observation methods. I have taught and mentored students and professionals through workshops, lectures, and one-on-one tutoring, helping them connect core environmental science concepts to applied global challenges. My approach emphasizes practical, real-world case studies to bring ecological processes and sustainability strategies to life.
GIS

GIS

I have over 25 years of experience in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing, with expertise across ArcGIS Pro/Enterprise/Online, QGIS, ENVI, ERDAS, and Google Earth Engine. My professional work has spanned international development, conservation, and natural resource management, where I built geospatial models to monitor land cover change, carbon storage, biodiversity, and climate risk. I have taught GIS to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as trained professionals through workshops and one-on-one sessions, focusing on both foundational cartography and advanced spatial analytics. My tutoring approach is highly applied, using real-world case studies to help learners master mapping, analysis, and geospatial modeling in the cloud.
