Experience
Project Assistant
United Nations University - Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) – Bonn, GermanyContributing to climate risk analytics projects that improve access to actionable information for decision-makers and vulnerable populations.
- Developing automated geospatial workflows using Python and Google Earth Engine for large-scale environmental data processing
- Designing and producing publication-ready cartographic products for climate risk reports (e.g., Pakistan)
- UDeveloping interactive geospatial dashboards integrating multi-source environmental datasets for climate risk communication and decision-support
Residential Fieldworker Volunteer
RSPB – LIFE Raft Seabird Conservation Project – Rathlin Island, UKSupported one of the UK’s most ambitious seabird conservation projects, aimed at protecting Puffins, Guillemots, and Razorbills by managing invasive species and maintaining monitoring networks.
- Checked and maintained 6,000+ bait stations across the island to monitor and manage invasive rats and ferrets threatening seabird populations.
- Collected and recorded field data using Field Maps and Survey123 under challenging outdoor conditions.
- Applied wildlife ID skills to identify remaining predators.
- Worked collaboratively with an international volunteer team and local community.
- Built experience in remote island fieldwork, teamwork, and outdoor resilience.
Student Assistant
UNU-EHS- Supported climate risk insurance projects through geospatial data preparation and analysis.
- Developed and maintained geoprocessing workflows to support adaptation and risk assessment studies.
- Produced maps and visualizations to communicate climate risk and adaptation measures.
Disaster Modelling Intern
UNU-EHS / Munich Climate Insurance Initiative- Automated geoprocessing workflows using Python, QGIS, and ArcGIS Pro.
- Applied CLIMADA for climate impact modelling and risk assessment.
- Produced climate impact maps for case studies in Egypt and Thailand.
Co-Founder
