Jeremy completed his undergraduate degree in Bioscience Engineering - Agriculture Engineering in 2006 and his MSc in Bioscience Engineering - Nature, Water and Forest Management in 2008 at Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, University of Liège, Belgium. During his final Masters year, Jeremy obtained a merit-based Erasmus grant to undertake a Double-degree program at Cranfield University, United Kingdom, where he completed a second MSc degree in Land Management - Natural Resource Management in 2008. Jeremy was awarded Cranfield’s Keech Trophy Award 2009 for the Best Student in Natural Resource Management and Ecological Conservation Options of the MSc Land Management Course, Cranfield University, UK.

Jeremy's enthusiasm for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) pushed him into working for 2 years in the GIS industry. He then decided to keep pursuing his dream to become an environmental scientist by completing a PhD on the valuation and mapping of cultural ecosystem services in 2015 at KU Leuven, Belgium, before moving to Brisbane, Australia. Jeremy's background is consequently a mix of GIS, environmental sciences, agriculture/forest engineering and economics.
