Senior Environmental Scientist

• May 2015 - Jun 2016

Provided support for the Natural Resources department including wetlands delineation and mitigation; land use permitting with respect to Freshwater Wetlands, Flood Hazard Area Control Act, CAFRA, Waterfront Development, and Highlands; and threatened & endangered species habitat assessments, as well as species-specific surveys. Project work focused on assessing, locating, and permitting new and co-located telecommunications facilities throughout New Jersey. Additional tasks included the preparation of technical reports and figures with respect to the subject areas listed above, thus utilizing technical writing and ArcGIS skills. Show less

Senior Wetland Scientist

• May 2014 - Apr 2015

Primary responsibilities included wetland/waters delineation and land use permit preparation for road/highway projects (NJDOT & individual NJ counties), and the NYC Build-It-Back Program (for residential repair/rebuilds after Superstorm Sandy). Additional experience included project management, the design and implementation of technical field studies, general applicable regulatory analysis and compliance, and some field sampling of environmental media for investigations relating to the characterization of contamination in surface soils.
