My Bio Sketch

I grew up in Palangka Raya (Central Kalimantan). I went to SDN Palangka 20 (elementary), SMPN-3 Palangka Raya (Junior High School), SMAN-2 Palangka Raya (Senior High School), Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Palangka Raya (undergraduate).

Then somehow I got a wonderful opportunity to pursue a master degree. I went to Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management (NREM) at the University of Hawaii (UH), USA from 2003 to 2005. I started my first work in wonderful paradise Honolulu as a research assistant at the Watershed Hydrology Lab. at NREM-UH from 2005 to 2006. Eventually, I decided to come back to Indonesia and find a job that at the same time can get close to my parent. Then, back home in Palangka Raya I was hired by a wildlife animal conservation and rehabilitation program, named Kalaweit Program. I really enjoy the almost three years mostly working outdoor with this organization. It was fantastic and in the same time I really become understand the difficulty of conducting such conservation program in my country.

When I was in junior high school, my intention that when I grow up, I wanted to becoming a lecturer in a university. Then I was thinking that it will be a good idea to really realizing that previous intention. And again somehow in early 2008 an opportunity was approaching, then finally at the end of 2008 I was started permanently hired by Universitas Mulawarman, teaching in the Department of Aquatic Resources Management. I sadly resigned from Kalawait Program and started my new job in the university to the current time.
