Expert Profile
I have a BSc degree in Forest Eng. , a MSc degree in Environmental Engineering (carbon sequestration modeling) and over 10 years of experience in projects overview, research, and training professionals. I have experience in the coordination, management and in undertaking projects and research; experience working with forestry/environmental government agencies, NGOs, industry, consulting companies, research agencies, and universities; efficient communication skills (oral and written); experience in the development/application of courses for higher education; network and lead/participate in multidisciplinary projects; and experience in managing projects/teams in all and/or specific phases: (1) application for funding; (2) Data collection and compilation in various formats; (3) Data processing and analysis (statistical, GIS, modelling, databases, etc); (4) Presentation of results in publications, technical reports, etc; and (5) Reviews and follow-up wit clients. I have worked with various formats/methods for sampling/processing data and information (measurements/field work, development/application of questionnaires, GIS, databases, inventory, models) and have used various softwares (e. g. , SPSS, ArcView, ArcMap, Corel Draw, Access, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, CBM-CFS, Tipsy, LARS, SDSM, sharepoint, etc). My area of specialization is on climate change and forests (and agroforestry), carbon sequestration modelling, REDD+, and adaptations to climate change. I look for projects and opportunities worldwide to make the use of forest resources overall more efficient and sustainable. I welcome many challenges and experiences leading from REDD to GREEN!
