water strategy officer

About

I am an environmental informaticist and engineer with a deep interest in the nexus of environmental science, design and technology, and a passion for creating boundary-pushing sustainability solutions. I have over nine years experience in environmental information management; development of information tools and models for water quality, water chemistry and water resource management problems; water, wastewater and stormwater engineering; water resources management; and contaminated land and groundwater management. I have been involved in a wide range of projects and a diverse client base, and have direct work experience in both the public and private sectors. I am a creative, big thinker, with a talent for identifying how various systems can connect and interact. I thrive on collaborative cross-disciplinary work and my broad technical skill set is suited to providing integrated solutions to complex, cross-discipline environmental, data management, and sustainability problems.
