Following completion of a Bachelor of Science in Environment and Natural Resources with a major in Wildlife Conservation from the University of New Brunswick, I worked for two years conserving the inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon, and other Species at Risk, through Fort Folly Habitat Recovery. Since then, I have been working as an Environmental Scientist and GIS Analyst for Fundy Engineering & Consulting Ltd., with a focus on wetland delineations, environmental baseline assessments and management plans. I have also had the opportunity to assist with Environmental Impact Assessments and contaminated sites remediation. In my spare time, I serve on the Atlantic Coastal Action Program (ACAP) Saint John Board of Directors, participate in environmental clean-ups, and occasionally participate in educational programs in schools through the Gaia Project. From a young age I was inspired by passionate conservationists, particularly Steve Irwin, to pursue a career that would help to protect Earth’s beautiful environment, and to advocate for wildlife who could not advocate for themselves. I look forward to continuing to develop my career as an Environmental Professional and dedicated conservationist.
