About Me
I have over 18 years’ experience in Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) and Sustainability risk management. I currently lead the Regulatory and Engagement team at an active mine in BC, where we manage legislative (e.g., permits, regulatory) and community obligations. I also provide technical support related to Ecological and Human Health Risk Assessment, water quality, and toxicity. As part of my role currently and over the years, I have completed numerous EHS/Sustainability assessments (audits, inspections) and provided EHS/Sustainability support to motion picture and television productions, energy, oil & gas, mining, pulp and paper, agricultural, chemical and government industries. I have also led and developed EHS/Sustainability and regulatory databases; overhauled data management systems; provided data analytics and visualization; cleaned and transferred client data to various data management software solutions; conducted industry standards and legislative/regulatory mapping; and facilitated risk assessment workshops. My career started in contaminated sites and risk assessment (Eco and Human Health) were I was responsible for managing and leading Emergency Spill Response, Contaminated Site Investigations, Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments (HHERA), and Environmental Impact Assessments, for various industry and government clients. I continue to review and manage programs through a risk assessment perspective.
My work has also taken me to all parts of Canada and various countries around the world, which I am very grateful for.I have over 18 years’ experience in Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) and Sustainability risk management.
