Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Integrative Biology from Harvard University, Naomi brings a passion for combining ecological research with robust geospatial analyses. Through the creation of an award-winning senior thesis, which investigated canopy height dynamics across the Southeast Asian and African tropics, Naomi developed an advanced understanding of GIS and tropical ecology while forging connections with prominent scientists and small Cameroonian communities. Her professional career led her to the Harvard Forest, a world-renowned ecological research station. Here, she honed her technical skills and developed an interest in nature-based solutions.
