Independent environmental consultant | Marine ecologist | Yoga instructor

Joanne WONG Xiao Wen

I’m an ecologist with a background in coastal management and impact assessment. As a nature lover, whether at sea or on land, I’m always looking to apply my skills in projects that work towards improving the conservation of our natural environment.

I’ve worked as an environmental consultant and researcher in topics spanning coastal planning, mangrove reforestation, microplastic pollution, saltmarsh management and green-engineering of ports.

I love to work collaboratively in multicultural environments and enjoy tackling challenging problems that need new approaches and creative thinking.

As a Scientific Advisor, I provide scientific and fund raising support for Coralive, an organisation that works on diverse topics related to marine conservation, community environmental awareness and alternative livelihoods.

As a qualified yoga instructor and practitioner, I work on bringing about physical, emotional and mental well-being through movement and breathing.
