My name is Naomi. I am a zoologist by education and by vocation. A few years ago,
 I graduated from the University of Heidelberg, where I completed my thesis in behavioral ecology of mammals. Since then, my life has been a series of expeditions, field research projects, and constant movement.
I always knew I wouldn’t be able to work only in a laboratory. It’s important for me to see animals in their natural habitats, to observe not just numbers in spreadsheets but living ecosystems. During my studies, I specialized in field monitoring methods: camera traps, GPS tracking, track identification, and acoustic recording. These skills have become my primary professional toolkit.
My first major expedition was to Iceland, where we studied seabird colonies and the impact of climate change on their migration patterns. Then I worked in Romania on a brown bear conservation project. Later, I joined a monitoring program for desert predators in Namibia. Being a zoologist is not just about beautiful landscapes. It involves early mornings, challenging weather conditions, long hours of observation, and processing large datasets in the evenings.
I travel frequently, but for me it’s not tourism. It’s collaboration with international teams, reporting, grant applications, and scientific publications. I want my research to have practical value — to contribute to biodiversity conservation and to building more sustainable relationships between humans and nature.
I am currently continuing my work in international projects and remain open to new collaborations. I would be happy to connect — feel free to add me as a friend to participate in the promotion and stay in touch.
