Thesis information:
Pharmaceutical Pollution in Ontario: Identifying and Assessing the Toxicity of Pharmaceutical Compounds for Environmental Release Management
Biography:
I have a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and a Master's degree in Environmental Sustainability. Throughout my education, I completed two major research projects where I gathered and analyzed information from a wide variety of sources and I had practice writing briefing notes, white papers, technical reports and other synthesis documents.
I completed two enriching co-op terms with Agriculture and Agri Food Canada (AAFC) and Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). At AAFC’s National Agroclimate Information Service (NAIS), I worked as a geomatics technician where I compiled, processed and analyzed large geospatial climate data sets. I used python to calculate drought indicators SPI (Standard Precipitation Index) and SPEI (Standardized Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Index) and ArcGIS to map the results across Canada. As a project manager at PSPC’s Centre Block Rehabilitation Project (CBRP), I was mainly responsible for 1) assessing and accurately keeping record of the progress of the project’s sustainability goals, the monthly health and safety reports, and any environmental incidents on the construction site 2) maintaining and regularly updating the Environment and Sustainability section of the monthly dashboard, and 3) planning and leading the biweekly sustainability and health and safety meetings with the project’s consultants and construction management. I also completed several construction site visits with my team and reviewed and edited proposal documents and presentations.
