Hilda joined PNCI in 2015 to support the TNC IFCP project in Deep-water Snapper and Grouper Fishery as a coordinator of data quality control to supervise more than 10 field technicians in terms of fish data processing.
She is responsible for verifying and ensuring the data, collected by the boat crew and processed by field technicians, are accurate for a length-based stock assessment for the purpose of fisheries management in Indonesia. Aside from data control, she has frequent fieldwork across Indonesia for engaging the fishers to join the sustainability programs (data collection and data sharing) and scooping areas to illustrate the current condition of the snapper fishery.
She is also involved in capacity building program in fish identification by developing the training method and materials (guidebook, games, quizzes, training tests, practicum, etc.) and being a trainer for fish processing companies and the Indonesia Fish Quarantine and Inspection Agency. In April 2022, she started to work for the Coral Triangle Center (CTC) on Deep-sea Snapper Fishery Project in Banda Islands with the same responsibilities as what she had done on the previous project.
In addition to professional work, she likes painting, especially fish painting, and puts her paintings on her social media which aims to inform wide-ranging audiences about kinds of fish species (art communication).
