Work: I worked as a Para-ecologist with New Guinea Binatang Research on their field sites in lowland tropical forest, Madang, Papua New Guinea . I have 5 years experience in plant sampling, identification and herbarium curation (2006-2011). Also did some insect sampling technique and data collections. Interested in working with any plant or insect ecologist in the tropical rainforest belt.
