Fieldwork

My fieldwork is mainly on Southeast Asian islands. However, I have also been privileged to participate in fieldwork in Australia and the mainland United States. The journey spans over 12 years, conducting 30+ field expeditions across five countries. These field expeditions involved countless individuals, from local communities, park rangers, friends, colleagues, and research advisors to students I had the honor of mentoring. I started as someone more useful in washing dishes than preparing specimens 😉. Eventually, I led complex field expeditions in the remote mountains of Indonesia. My favorite parts of this journey are contributing to the growth of essential natural history collections, many of which were unknown to science, and working among exceptional scientists and incredible local communities.
