I am an enthusiastic, passionate, highly driven individual with over 10 years’ experience in the field of environmental sciences, ecotourism and marine biology. Additional skills gained in management, research, conservation, communication, environmental awareness, ecology, project management, diving and boating industry.✩ Communication & Customer Support ✩I believe communication and customer service to be one of my strongest competencies, as I have been able to improve it over a decade working with clients, colleagues, board members, guests, team members, volunteers, sponsors, contractors and many more. While working in the Maldives, I learned the importance of building strong and lasting relationships with other researchers and conversation organisations. This was also the case while working as a guide in several areas around the world, and most recently during my position with Whale Trust, a non-profit organisation dedicated to scientific research and public awareness.✩ Conservation & Marine Life ✩My positions as a marine biologist. naturalist and volunteer have challenged me, and permitted me to tap into the core features of my personality. These traits have enhanced my organisational skills, attention to detail, problem solving and efficiency.✩ Education & Leadership ✩Throughout various career positions, I believe I have highlighted my ability to take charge of situations and competently handle responsibility. I am extremely flexible and able to take initiative, while also working successfully within teams, particularly after working with Whale Trust, where I directed short and long-term volunteers and was described by Executive Director as ‘intelligent, hardworking’ and a ‘creative thinker’.✩ Report Writing, Data Analysis & Research ✩These skills grew significantly after several years working on minor projects in Australia, Maldives, Iceland and the UK. During this period, I have handled tight deadlines, improved multitasking abilities, and gained scientific writing and dataset analysing skills.
