I possess strong skills in research and analysis, including literature review, data collection, statistical analysis (Jamovi, SPSS, Excel, Prism), and GIS-based spatial analysis using QGIS, Google Earth Pro, Copernicus Marine Service, and GEBCO. My background in technical and project management covers proposal writing, technical reporting, project planning, aquaculture operations management, as well as monitoring and evaluation of programs and projects. I am also experienced in communication and liaison, particularly in stakeholder coordination, community engagement, training facilitation, and preparing technical presentations and materials. In addition, I am proficient in digital tools such as MS Office, Google Suite, Canva, and Zoom, with familiarity in data visualization and mapping platforms. I also have practical knowledge in inventory and logistics management, including procurement processes, logistics coordination, and financial documentation.
