What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team where I can run ESA-aligned field sampling, ensure EHS compliance, and deliver clear technical environmental reports—growing into an Environmental Coordinator role with measurable real-world impact.

I’m an Environmental Science graduate with a Postgraduate Certificate in Environmental Management and Assessment and credentials in Project Management. I bring a practical, compliance-first approach to environmental work, with experience spanning Canada and India across research, academic, and NGO contexts.

I’ve supported environmental field investigations, ecological habitat assessments, and Phase I/II ESA-aligned site inspections. I plan and execute sampling protocols, document chain-of-custody, and maintain accurate field logs to protect sample integrity and support downstream laboratory analysis.

I’m also focused on regulatory compliance and risk reduction. I’m WHMIS and OHS certified, and I’ve worked directly with hazardous materials handling and workplace safety practices, translating requirements into day-to-day compliant operations.

In addition to fieldwork, I produce clear technical reporting and data summaries for stakeholders. From GIS-supported interpretation to QA/QC documentation and progress tracking, I’m ready to contribute immediately as an Environmental Coordinator, consultant, Jr. Scientist, EHS Specialist, environmental technician, or recycling auditor.
