Looking For
An opportunity that will allow me to expand my academic and research experience into an applied environmental position. As a graduate researcher, I have developed hands-on experience with environmental sampling, field and laboratory methods, data analysis, and scientific communication while studying complex environmental systems. I am eager to bring my research background, attention to detail, independant work ethic, and willingness to learn into a professional setting while gaining experience in environmental monitoring, remediation, regulatory compliance, and technical reporting.
