As an environmental biology graduate and wildlife conservationist, I aspire to be a part of the National Parks Board (NParks) efforts to protect the biodiversity in the country. As a Project Assistant in my current job, I understand the responsibility and daily tasks related to capacity building programs, field assessments and engaging with local/international stakeholders as I analyze and identify key mitigation strategies to address human wildlife conflicts in urban spaces. I am a goal oriented person and enjoy taking on new challenges that will be able to help me gain more working experience in this field.

• Manage on-ground community driven collaborations in Malaysia.
• Collate information from local communities on the human macaque interaction in Malaysia.
• Establish mitigation strategies and engage with communities to ensure feasibility. 
• Organise awareness events to promote coexistence with urban wildlife.
• Engage with ANP followers on social media. 
• Supervise and facilitate interns and volunteers.
• Directing project branding #keepwildlifewild.
