Provide technical support for coastal process evaluations and coastal engineering design elements for projects across New Zealand. Interact with clients to ensure fit-for-purpose design and to develop robust and feasible monitoring and adaption plans given climate change and shifting environmental conditions.

Lakewood Ranch, Fl

Work with principle and senior engineers to draft RFPs, design and modelling reports, environmental impact assessments, permit applications, and construction and environmental monitoring reports for beach stabilization, stormwater, and luxury waterfront development projects in the US and in the Caribbean. Oversee sea turtle monitoring during record 2016 nesting season on project site on Casey Key, Florida. Manage small projects from conceptual design through to construction management. Conduct forensic analysis on projects for expert witness reports. Work continued remotely, part time on selected expert witness projects following the move to Auckland in pursuit of a PhD.

Erasmus Mundus Master's programs emphasize an international education and utilize the expertise of different universities in various fields. The Coastal and Marine Engineering and Management Master's of Science degree funded 11 students in my cohort to study at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Delft University of Technology, University College of London, University of Southampton, and Technical University of Catalonia to foster international transfer of knowledge and expertise in the fields of coastal engineering and management.

Houma, Louisiana

I worked alongside the civil engineering team to interpret the results of the Post Authorization Change Report for the Morganza to the Gulf project. Specifically, I extrapolated their extreme event distributions to be used for more return periods. This was utilized for overtopping calculations to determine floodwall and levee heights.

Maritime Systems Engineering is a combination of Ocean, Coastal, and Structural Engineering. I focused on Coastal Engineering by my elective and senior design project choices.
