My master's degree in biology is form University of Copenhagen, specializing in terrestial ecosystems and animal behavior. Specifically, my thesis was on the social networks of South African giraffe, and it was based on months of field work in Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa. In 2019, I was the first author of a paper published in Animal Behaviour describing the seasonality and long term stability of these giraffe social networks.I work in the Danish municipality Solrød, where I am responsible for projects regarding nature conservation, protected areas and biodiversity. I deal with cases involving the interface of citizens' daily lives and the municipality's many protected areas. This means having a strong legal understanding of the laws governing nature management, protected wildlife and ecosystems, environmental challenges, coastal protection and many other topics as well as a good biological foundation to back up decisions and plans.Just as importantly, I have to be able to communicate productively with a very broad array of people to reach the ideal outcome in the many kinds of cases, I encounter. I have an enduring fascination with the human psyche and the underlying processes that govern our decision-making, behavioural patterns and trauma and I am enrolled in a study to become a psychotherapist. I use my people skills every day to aim for optimal outcomes, both in my job and my private life.
Listed skills include Wildlife Conservation, Animal Behavior, Ecology, Scientific Writing, and 2 others.
