What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can combine environmental assessment expertise with academic editing and localization, in collaborative, deadline-driven teams offering growth.

I am a Junior Environmental Assessment Practitioner with experience in compiling and reviewing Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), Basic Assessment Reports (BARs), and related compliance documentation. My strengths include technical writing, clear reporting, and translating complex specialist input into accessible information for decision-makers.

Alongside my environmental consulting work, I also have skills in AI-driven data analysis, which allows me to identify patterns, connect information, and enhance problem-solving in project assessments. I am passionate about biodiversity conservation, ecological planning, and integrated water resource management, and I aim to grow my career at the intersection of environmental science and data innovation.
