Senior Researcher & Lecturer | Ethnobotany, Ethnoveterinary Science, Conservation & Scientific Writing

Profile Summary

As a Senior Lecturer and Researcher with over a decade of academic and field experience, I specialize in ethnobotany, ethnoveterinary medicine, and environmental conservation. My work focuses on documenting traditional ecological knowledge, evaluating plant-based remedies for human and animal health, and developing evidence-based conservation and agricultural strategies. I hold an MSc from Hawassa University and a BSc in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences from Haramaya University, and I have authored multiple peer-reviewed articles and preprints on ethnomedicinal practices in Ethiopia. I offer end-to-end research and writing support, including study design, field data collection, qualitative/quantitative analysis, scientific/technical writing, manuscript preparation, literature reviews, and grant/project consulting. Whether you need a subject-matter expert for academic research, environmental policy analysis, biodiversity documentation, or publication-ready scientific writing, I deliver rigorous, culturally informed, and methodologically sound work. I am available for short-term consulting, long-term research collaboration, and editorial/proofreading assignments.
