I'm an Environmental Scientist with over two years of experience as a Water Quality Consultant, specializing in project managing and delivering river restoration initiatives. My work focuses on developing and communicating methods to naturally improve water quality in rivers — from in-depth literature reviews and site-specific analyses to creating scalable, nationally applicable methodologies. This includes identifying opportunities to implement wetlands, river restoration, and other nature-based solutions, and providing clear, actionable recommendations to help improve freshwater health across the country. My work has also included field sampling, chemical analysis, and data interpretation to support ecological outcomes. I'm confident writing detailed technical reports, tenders, and project documentation, and I enjoy translating complex environmental data into clear, accessible information. I’m currently transitioning into remote-friendly roles such as technical writing, where I can bring together my environmental background, analytical skills, and strong communication abilities.
