With over 15 years of field and reporting experience, I have led biophysical studies such as long-term monitoring projects, pre-disturbance assessments, environmental impact assessments, restoration plans, vegetation and weed management plans and vegetation and wetland mapping projects in Alberta. I am familiar with relevant legislation and guidelines for vegetation, wetlands and rare plants as well as reporting requirements. I have extensive experience with pipelines and facilities, renewable resources, power transmission and distribution, restoration and urban environmental resource management projects, often in collaboration with other disciplines. Recently, I developed an extensive habitat restoration and integrated weed management plan, completed a five-year wetland compensation monitoring program and recommended seed mixes for a slope stabilization project. Always looking for a new challenge, I’ve recently completed the Ecological Restoration Professional Specialization Certificate program at University of Victoria.My skills include air photograph and satellite imagery interpretation, including experience with ArcGIS, ecological land classification, ecological restoration planning, wetland inventory and impact assessment and vascular plant identification. I have both experience and formal training in wetland delineation and the use of Alberta Wetland Rapid Evaluation Tool forms and assessments. My strong background in scientific research provides me with a thorough understanding of natural ecosystems and their functions as well as excellent technical writing skills to ensure deliverables meet both the client’s needs and regulatory requirements.
