I have experience of ten years working with tropical forest management. I worked for 8 years at Tropical Forest Institute (IFT, non-governmental organization). I have experience working in both socioeconomic and environmental areas in the tropics, as well as in sustainable-use protected areas. I also work with planning and conducting events (workshops, seminars) involving organizations from different sectors (government, private sector, communities, and NGOs). I have ample practical experience working as a technical assistant in forestry, as well as using participatory methodologies and group facilitation. I also published various technical materials and academic publications. I am qualified as Auditor of FSC® forest management certification by the Rainforest Alliance.
