I have developed standards for data collection and storage and oversee the monitoring and evaluation of projects and on-ground works contracts. I have also engaged in extensive project management with the management and delivery of annual budgets including ongoing reporting. These projects have varied from research into biophysical assets such as vegetation extent and condition, remote sensing for GDEs and groundcover to baseline research on people attitudes and awareness toward NRM.
