What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply soil and hydrogeology skills to sustainable, repeatable development—especially water infrastructure, agroforestry, and impact-focused work—using technology and data to produce measurable outcomes and help teams succeed.

I’m an Environmental Engineering graduate with hands-on experience performing soil analysis and hydrogeology, alongside conducting laboratory work. I’m confident, caring, and easy-going, with a keen eye for detail and the ability to work well under pressure while keeping the “big picture” of how my work fits into a project.

In agroforestry-focused work, I supported restoring degraded soil using natural fertilizers, composting, and biomass reuse, and I tested agro-forest systems with biochar to enrich soil and improve plant health. I also bring a results-driven, technical approach from engineering work—analyzing energy-use data to reduce energy consumption, producing technical reports, and contributing to business development—along with practical field experience in reforestation, safety protocols, and land management.
