Summary
As a zoologist MSc specialising in conservation biology, I have been working in nature conservation / sustainability since 1999. I have experience in field survey and monitoring techniques, worked mostly with birds, bats, predatory mammals, but as part of the jobs, often carried out vegetation mapping, too. I did a PhD in evolutionary biology, also based on field research. My positions have been increasingly home-office-based during the past few years and dominated by project and research administration tasks. I am good with time management, have a keen eye for detail, quick to learn, enjoy coordinating and assisting others in their tasks and highly motivated to work for the protection of the environment.
