Education

2008 – 2012

Yale School of the Environment

Master of Forest Science with a focus on tropical reforestation and carbon sequestration modeling. Completed coursework in LiDAR canopy analysis, biodiversity corridor design, and verified carbon standard methodologies. Capstone project mapped biomass recovery across degraded watersheds using satellite imagery and ground-truth sampling.

Professional experience

2013 – 2020

GreenCanopy Alliance

Managed large-scale restoration programs across Central America and Southeast Asia. Built field monitoring protocols, coordinated planting crews, and partnered with local communities to improve survival rates, reduce leakage risk, and standardize MRV documentation for carbon credit issuance.

Current role

2021 – Present

Oxivia

Leads reforestation operations for verified carbon removal deployments — tracking canopy growth, sequestration performance, and project traceability. Turns LiDAR audits and field telemetry into actions that help partners deliver high-integrity offsets with defensible ESG reporting.

Responsibilities

• Define and monitor KPIs for canopy density, carbon stock, and verification compliance
• Analyze satellite and LiDAR data to identify underperformance and corrective actions
• Partner with ecologists and field teams to validate planting strategies and prevent reversals
• Build reporting that helps partners understand sequestration impact and audit readiness
