Testimonials
​"Alessia assisted PacMARA with various courses, including PacMARA's first course on Marxan with Zones in Indonesia (2018). She has also supported PacMARA and our partners in various projects related to Systematic Conservation Planning (SCP) and associated decision-support tools. Her input and knowledge around SCP approaches and tools was invaluable in these projects. Alessia is hard working and a very well organized person, who delivers what is tasked in a timely manner. She also has a passion to create very engaging visual materials, which I believe to be a key skill when preparing maps and presentations."
Norma Serra-Sogas, Training Program Manager
PacMARA- Pacific Marine Analysis and Research Association
"Throughout August 2012, Alessia acted as wildlife adviser for the BBC’s Hidden Kingdoms 3D chipmunk shoot. Filming is always testing with long hours and infinite changeable demands yet Alessia was always on hand to troubleshoot and help out. We were all won over by her positive attitude, determination to get things done and her detailed knowledge of Canadian wildlife. I for one would certainly recommend Alessia for a job at the BBC Natural History Unit which relies on resourceful, driven characters who are strong communicators."
