With a team of remote sensing and GIS analysts I manage the development of international forest carbon projects, specifically Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD), with partners in Latin America and Africa. I specialize in forest carbon measurement from forest inventory to remote sensing measurement of land use change. Together with eP's team I've helped bring 70-million carbon credits to validation and 1.4-million carbon credits to market to bring finance towards the… Show more With a team of remote sensing and GIS analysts I manage the development of international forest carbon projects, specifically Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD), with partners in Latin America and Africa. I specialize in forest carbon measurement from forest inventory to remote sensing measurement of land use change. Together with eP's team I've helped bring 70-million carbon credits to validation and 1.4-million carbon credits to market to bring finance towards the protection of 750,000 hectares of tropical forest.I also contribute to the general research tasks required of an entrepreneurial company by providing market reports, developing new business, management recommendations, and grant writing. I also attend conferences dedicated to forestry and deforestation issues in order to share our experience through presentations and identify key partnerships. Show less

I worked and collaborated with managers in EPB's Nicaraguan and South African locations to achieve a number of international sustainable certification schemes including FSC, VCS, CCBA, and the World Bank's MIGA program. Within carbon certification schemes I provided predictions on carbon stocks through modeling to aid in the timing of sale events, author certification documents, and aid in monitoring events. I also assisted in the execution and design of monitoring schemes within our… Show more I worked and collaborated with managers in EPB's Nicaraguan and South African locations to achieve a number of international sustainable certification schemes including FSC, VCS, CCBA, and the World Bank's MIGA program. Within carbon certification schemes I provided predictions on carbon stocks through modeling to aid in the timing of sale events, author certification documents, and aid in monitoring events. I also assisted in the execution and design of monitoring schemes within our plantations for the purposes of monitoring growth, estimating inventory, and researching the effects of different silvicultural practices. I helped initiate monitoring studies towards providing better inventory data that can provide results of annual stocks in important market metrics by obtaining a grant through Yale University.

Crew member that contributed to the sustainable management of 10,000+ acres of the Yale School Forest landholdings. A holistic management approach was implemented to maintain diverse forest conditions, sustainable timber harvesting, wetland protection, wildlife conservation and ecosystem services. Duties included road and trail maintenance, sample inventory design and execution, timber marking, silviculture implementation, delineation of boundaries and wetlands, and community engagement.… Show more Crew member that contributed to the sustainable management of 10,000+ acres of the Yale School Forest landholdings. A holistic management approach was implemented to maintain diverse forest conditions, sustainable timber harvesting, wetland protection, wildlife conservation and ecosystem services. Duties included road and trail maintenance, sample inventory design and execution, timber marking, silviculture implementation, delineation of boundaries and wetlands, and community engagement. Mapped harvest areas using existing ArcMap database information and field collected GPS information. Implemented a mobile data collection system to be used for forest inventory purposes. Show less
