Hello! I’m Anastasia, a marine science graduate with extensive experience supporting field and laboratory research projects. I provide reliable assistance to students, research technicians, and postdocs, helping with tasks ranging from data collection and analysis to literature reviews, report preparation, and academic support. I specialize in coastal and estuarine ecology research, particularly seagrass monitoring and wetland assessments. I have hands-on experience conducting fieldwork via boat and snorkel, processing water and sediment samples, performing stable isotope analyses, and generating data visualizations. In addition, I assist with project coordination, maintaining organized datasets, and ensuring QA/QC standards are met. Beyond technical research tasks, I also support general academic needs. I offer proofreading, editing, formatting, tutoring, and guidance on data management, helping clients streamline their workflow and meet project deadlines. My goal is to be a dependable and adaptable team member who can take on both technical and administrative tasks, allowing researchers and students to focus on higher-level project work. Whether you need assistance with field or lab research, data analysis, GIS mapping, or academic support, I bring a combination of technical expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail to every project.

I help geospatial, satellite, ocean, and climate-tech companies turn deep technical capability into positioning that wins customers, partners, and funding. I'm an environmental scientist and market strategist – which means I can tell whether a use case is scientifically real before I help anyone sell it. I read the papers your team is building on. I understand the ecology, the climate models, the ocean systems, the sensing. That's why I can explain what your technology does without flattening it. 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 My training and my center of gravity. Climate adaptation and resilience, emissions and carbon accounting, environmental monitoring, ecosystem and natural-resource management, and the science-to-policy translation that sits underneath most climate-tech claims. When a funder, a regulator, or a technical buyer pressure-tests your position, it holds. 𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 A core focus through Boundless Blue, my ocean conservation consultancy. I work with marine NGOs, researchers, technology companies, and emerging blue-economy ventures on funding strategy, partnerships, commercialization, and positioning. The work often sits between science and execution: identifying credible use cases, aligning projects with funders and implementation partners, and translating complex marine technology or conservation models for agencies, philanthropies, researchers, investors, and commercial operators.
