As a Senior Environmental Officer, I led team performance by setting clear expectations, providing support, and monitoring progress. I applied extensive knowledge in nature conservation, mine rehabilitation, and water quality monitoring, and effectively managed junior officers in coordinating mine restoration projects. My role also involved advanced organizational, communication, and financial management skills, including developing and delivering tailored training programs and working within multidisciplinary teams.Key achievements:• Provided significant technical expertise in co-designing and developing essential workplace management plans and monitoring protocols, including the Planned Rehabilitation Closure Plan (PRCP), Ecological Restoration Plan (ERP), Wildlife Management Plan (WMP), Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP), and Acid Sulfate Soils Management Plan (ASSMP), ensuring compliance with regulatory obligations;• Designed, monitored, and evaluated specialised rehabilitation and nursery propagation techniques in industry and research experiments, such as lime applications for acid sulfate soils treatment, microbial inoculation for soil productivity enhancement, and direct seeding for improved vegetation establishment, leading to better rehabilitation outcomes with reduced costs; and,• Strengthened the business’s community profile by establishing partnerships with the University of Sunshine Coast and Griffith University, facilitating industry-based training for university students as part of approved tertiary curricula.

As a Quality and Environment Officer, I ensured compliance with Environmental Authority regulations and government legislation by overseeing water quality monitoring, managing on-site soils, controlling biosecurity threats, and designing and managing rehabilitation projects. My role involved direct management of nursery operations, adaptive management of mine rehabilitation practices, and investigating environmental incidents and complaints. I also conducted site inspections, liaised with regulatory bodies, and participated in continuous improvement initiatives. Additionally, I handled quality control of saleable sand products, influencing production schedules and maintaining customer satisfaction.

As a Casual Academic, I partnered with the course convenor to co-design and deliver a specialised module for the Masters course (6206-7406ENG Remediation and Rehabilitation), incorporating practical land rehabilitation experiences, professional reporting skills, and a range of ecological and cultural perspectives. I dedicated 30 hours to developing course content, including a real-world mine rehabilitation assessment, and contributed over 20 hours to marking and assessment, managing roles as both a mine operator (Senior Environmental Officer – Southern Pacific Sands) and sessional tutor (Griffith University).Key achievements:• Received positive student feedback, through a Student Evaluation of the Tutor (SET) score of 4.2/5, highlighting extensive knowledge, enthusiasm, and effective communication skills; and, • Nominated for a distinguished sessional teaching award, achieving recognition as a first-time educator.
