Water Quality Lab and Field Technician at Environment Canada

CleanTech / Environment

I am currently an Environmental Technician working for Environment Canada. In this role I collect environmental samples from field sites and process them in a laboratory setting. Specifically, I work closely with leading environmental scientists in the Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance division on the Great Lakes Nutrient Initiative. We are working to address the complex problems of recurrent toxic and nuisance algae in the Great Lakes. Before joining Environment Canada I attended the University of Guelph and graduated with an Honours Degree in Geography and Environmental Governance. Currently I am a student in the Environmental Technician program at Mohawk College.
