What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to tackle complex environmental challenges while fostering collaboration and innovation in a supportive company culture.

I am an experienced environmental and mineral engineering professional with a Ph.D. in Mineral Engineering from Polytechnique de Montréal. My research focuses on geochemical modeling and acid rock drainage management, equipping me with a robust understanding of environmental challenges. I have a proven track record in developing conceptual geochemical models and producing high-quality technical reports that meet regulatory standards.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed complex projects, ensuring effective communication and collaboration with diverse stakeholders, including clients, regulatory agencies, and First Nations. My roles as an Environmental Project Manager have honed my skills in project planning, organization, and implementation, allowing me to deliver projects on time and within budget while maintaining high-quality standards. I am passionate about applying innovative approaches to environmental challenges and continuously strive to enhance my expertise in this field.
