I am a highly motivated self-starting individual with broad-based skills and expertise in agriculture and the life sciences. I have worked with various stakeholders from research scientists and local government to farm managers and land owners thoughout my career. My friendly and approachable nature enhances the projects of any individual or company team I collaborate with as I am able to bridge the gaps between technical and field-based knowledge. 

 My Master of Science, in Soil and Water Sciences, focused on soil carbon and nutrient cycling. It included field sampling, chemical extraction, data visualization, and presentation of findings in oral and written formats.

My undergraduate Bachelor of Arts, in Environmental Studies and Biology, enhanced my communication skills through working on interdisciplinary projects and contributed to making me an adaptable worker who creatively solves puzzles for my clients.

I specialize in analysis of soil and crop production data with the goal of creating a better understanding of the interactions between human-made systems and the natural ecosystems they are embedded in. This helps farmers to maximize their profits by maintaining or improving productivity while reducing input costs. My agricultural-ecosystem-approach uses organic amendments to supplement traditional fertilizer and herb/pest-icide use which improves sustainability and resilience of farm enterprises while reducing negative impacts on neighbouring natural ecosystems.
