What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine fieldwork and GIS mapping with environmental regulatory expertise—planning and leading projects, collecting data, and producing clear study reports that support conservation and sustainable management.

I’m a Biologist and Environmental Consultant with a Master’s Degree in Environmental Biogeoscience and a Graduate Microprogram in Strategic Environmental Consulting. I bring strong attention to detail, creativity, and bilingual communication in French and English.

In my roles with the Transportation Minist and OBV du Chên, I’ve handled fieldwork planning and execution, demonstrated leadership and initiative, and supported project planning, monitoring, and coordination. I combine knowledge of environmental regulatory frameworks (Qc) with field sampling, data collection, site characterization, habitat development, and tools like ArcGIS and QGIS, then translate findings into study reports, literature reviews, and scientific opinions.
