Environmental Science graduate specializing in environmental management, waste management, and public relations. Skilled in community engagement, ecological restoration, and research.
Conducted ecological field surveys in Solok Pesisir to assess wildlife presence and forest conditions. Observed animal signs, identified visible species, and measured forest canopy density using a densitometer. Contributed to baseline biodiversity data to support environmentally sensitive infrastructure planning.
Assisted in the collection of plankton and benthos samples as part of environmental monitoring for industrial wastewater impact. Familiar with sampling equipment and procedures, contributing to the assessment of aquatic ecosystem health and regulatory compliance.
Participated in cave expeditions to collect bat samples and identify reptile and amphibian species. This initiative supported biodiversity documentation and enhanced understanding of cave-dwelling fauna for scientific and educational purposes.
Contributed to a joint research project on virus transmission in long-tailed and pig-tailed macaques. Focused on observing environmental conditions, habitat characteristics, and behavioral patterns to support analysis of disease vectors and wildlife-human interactions.
Secured a small grant to implement a habitat conservation initiative using rumpons (Fish Aggregating Devices) to support fish population recovery. Led planning and installation efforts, engaging local stakeholders to enhance sustainable fisheries and protect aquatic biodiversity.
Conducted mixed methods research to analyze local community perceptions and behaviors toward biodiversity conservation in the KEHATI Emil Salim Park. Designed and administered surveys residents, facilitated focus group discussions with key stakeholders, and mapped community ecosystem interaction patterns.
I volunteered to help study the eating habits of endangered elephants and rhinos in Way Kambas. Working with international researchers, I gathered important data about what plants the animals eat and when they feed. This information is now being used to protect and restore their forest habitats.
Let's explore how data, nature, and people can connect for lasting environmental change
As an environmental practitioner with a background in Environmental Science (Master's level), I have been involved in various projects-from analyzing forest cover in Sumatra to monitoring industrial aquatic ecosystems, and even exploring zoonotic disease risks in wildlife.
Through hands-on experience with tools such as densitometers, plankton nets and bat mist nets, I have developed a keen eye for ecological patterns and practical conservation strategies. My work includes ecological field surveys, environmental impact assessments, and collaborative conservation programs with local and scientific communities. What sets me apart is my ability to connect the dots - between data and field realities, between people and nature, and between sustainability goals and real-world implementation. Whether it's guiding stakeholders through environmental reports or participating in educational outreach, I strive to make science accessible and actionable.
From monitoring wildlife, working on the environment to learning how to build a website, let's grow together.
Experienced in biodiversity surveys, wildlife monitoring, and exploration of natural ecosystems from forests to caves to support ecological and conservation studies.
Skilled in using water, plankton, and benthic sampling tools in environmental quality monitoring, especially to support the evaluation of industrial impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
Although I'm still learning, I made this web myself as a form of personal learning and exploration. Although it is still simple, I wanted to convey my story and journey in the environmental field in a more interactive and open way.
