Message

At Parsons, on behalf of the Royal Commission for Jubail & Yanbu at JCPDI, I provide client-side environmental and sustainability oversight. I manage compliance and regulatory submissions, and advise on ecological constraints across design, construction, and commissioning.

For JCPDI’s Downtown precinct, I contributed to the team effort that received LEED Platinum pre-design certification and supported Envision v3 credit documentation. I also direct revegetation and habitat rehabilitation strategies, including nursery operations and the use of native, drought-tolerant species.

At SGS Gulf Limited, I delivered marine ecological baseline surveys and monitoring programmes for coastal and marine developments. I prepared EIA and CEMP documentation, monitored water quality, and led the marine biological and water quality team.

At the National Institute of Ocean Technology, I contributed to coastal ecology and conservation work, including an artificial reef deployment programme and turtle monitoring along the Indian coast. I hold a Ph.D. in Marine Biology and have published peer-reviewed research on marine and coastal ecology.
