I am an ecologist with a B.S. from the University of California, Santa Cruz. I live in Watsonville, California in the United States (just south of Santa Cruz and San Francisco). I am currently searching for a job in western Oregon. The majority of my research experience is with small mammals from California, including mice from the genus Peromyscus. I completed a bachelor's thesis studying the range of the Santa Cruz kangaroo rat (Dipodomys venustus venustus). I worked for six months for the Resource Conservation District in California as a monitoring biologist on the Salinas River. We were working to control invasive Arundo donax plants and to control flooding by mowing overflow channels. I worked for nine months as a senior park aide for California State Parks in Santa Cruz County. I have some experience with ArcGIS from taking a university course, using it for my thesis, and using it to process data and produce maps for the Resource Conservation District. I am interested in gaining experience in 1) researching birds, mammals, and plants 2) land management such as ecosystem restoration and trail maintenance and 3) relevant computer software such as R Programming and QGIS. I am also interested in making connections with fellow ecologists in Oregon. I enjoy hiking, camping, reading, cooking, and making herbal forest tea. I also enjoy rock climbing and backpacking, although I am a newbie to both.

We deliver effective and ethical Stakeholder Dialogue, process design and facilitation in environmental contexts. Aiming to arrive at the best outcomes for people AND nature.

How can Wildlife Drones help you?  - Track up to 40 animals simultaneously and in real-time - Survey difficult terrains like rugged mountains and swamp areas easily - Save time, effort and money so you can focus on what really matters - Collect more data, more often with less effort She has received an ACT Innovation Award as well as an ACT Government Innovation Connect grant for her creative business solutions for challenging research problems. Debbie believes that drones are a highly valuable and flexible tool that provide unprecedented opportunities for new insights into the world’s most complex and fascinating natural ecosystems.

I graduated in Botany and Conservation at the University of Rwanda (UR) in July, 2016. I served as the president of the Rwanda University Club for Conservation of Biodiversity (RUCCB) for two years. Directly after my graduation, have shortly worked with the Center of Excellence in Biodiversity and Natural Resource Management (CoEB). In September 2018, I received a Master’s degree in Biodiversity and Collection Management at Technical University of Dresden/ IHI Zittau, Germany. Subsequently, I have been trained in different aspects of global biodiversity by Natural Historical Museum of Goerlitz, Senckenberg. As a publicspeaker, I hold a certificate in Leadership and Public Speaking skills awarded by Toastmasters international in late 2016. In 2016-2017, I was a member of committee for young Scientists in Senckenberg Institutions, Germany. Since July 2019, I am a PhD candidate at University of Bielefeld, Germany. My research interest is on the “Establishment of invasive plants (Bunias orientalis)”.
