Summary

Resourceful professional in environmental science and protection, highly productive with a proven ability to complete tasks efficiently. Skilled in data analysis, regulatory compliance, and environmental sampling techniques. Excels in problem-solving, teamwork, and communication, ensuring effective collaboration and project success. I am a highly motivated employee with a desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills.

I have four years of field experience. My background is mainly in wildlife; however, I studied to become a conservation officer, and I am very familiar with the Environmental Protection Act, and regulatory law. In college, I gained significant field experience conducting water quality sampling, as well as assessing contaminated sites, and creating a remediation plan. When I was employed as a park ranger for the summer, my main role was in education and compliance.
