Work experience
In the previous period I have participated in 6 projects as coordinator-expert and 15 as an expert for soil. Some of them were related to soil productivity and soils in general under different types of forests, and other was focused on soil reclamation and remediation after mining, clear cutting etc. During my residence as JFDP scholar at University of Missouri, (Dr Rose_Marie Muzika mentor), I participated in projects related to Soil erosion and Conservation (modern techniques and methods for soil conservation, riparian buffers, soil nutrients ect.). Every project included field work specifically some practical problems where I gain necessary knowledge about degraded soils (analysis of environmental conditions, physical and chemical properties of soil, soil vulnerability of erosion, erosion, degradation, reclamation, remediation, forestry, biodiversity, forestry etc.). Some of projects had very expressed gender-sensitive approaches because focus groups were women and rural population (projects were implemented by NGO Mother Nature where I am Founder and President).
