University of Oxford

I am an MPhil student in Biodiversity, Conservation, and Management at the University of Oxford. My research interests are related to community-based conservation especially in inland water ecosystems and multilevel conservation governance. I have experiences in conducting biodiversity-related research in Indonesia, winning national scientific paper competitions, writing a book, and communicating scientific findings at various events. My postgraduate study is sponsored by the Indonesian Endowment Fund for Education (LPDP). I am also actively involved in a women-based community named Women in Nature Network (WiNN) as the Communications Lead.

Key research Interests: community-based conservation, small-scale fisheries, protected areas, systems thinking
