Karma Jamtsho

As an enthusiastic environmental scientist, I am dedicated to preserving and improving the natural environment. With a solid foundation in environmental science and extensive fieldwork experience, I specialize in promoting sustainable practices and confronting environmental challenges directly. My expertise lies in executing thorough environmental assessments, developing effective conservation strategies, and working harmoniously with diverse teams to achieve organizational objectives. I am adept at simplifying complex scientific ideas for a range of audiences, including policymakers, stakeholders, and the general public. I am eager to apply my knowledge to innovative environmental projects and would be delighted to join a forward-thinking team within an organization.
