About Candidate
Over the past several years, I have lived and worked in various countries, contributing to projects ranging from archaeological fieldwork to citizen science reporting initiatives. During my previous position in the EU Iliad Consortium, I conducted numerous literature reviews to develop optimum standards and engagement practices for citizen science programs. This work tied directly into my graduate research, where I conducted field-based ethnographic work, interviewing individuals across the Mediterranean to assess how citizen science participation affected their views on marine life. The stakeholders in these programs were diverse, providing the opportunity to adapt data and presentation to various audiences.
At the University of Haifa, I supported marine ecological research through the design and implementation of data protocols, the preparation of specimen records, and the coordination of citizen science initiatives. These responsibilities required detailed documentation, strict confidentiality with ecological and participant data, and ongoing collaboration with both technical experts and community stakeholders. I regularly contributed to internal reporting and presented updates in cross-institutional meetings, experience directly transferable to this position. Currently, I am enrolled in an Environmental Impact Assessment course, the foundation of which applies to this role.
