At CH2M Hill I was part of the Envionment Group, working with First Nations to summarize the effects of industrial development projects on traditional activities and culture. I synthesized reports from field data, as well as interpreted the data in order to make conclusions about the potential impacts of projects on First Nations' traditional livelihood. I helped in compiling several Applications to the National Energy Board as well as other provincial regulatory bodies such as the BC Environmental Assessment Office.
