Working in the environmental science field since 1997, specializing in Geology, I am currently the Geology Technician at St. Lawrence University’s Department of Geology. My experience includes field investigation and report writing, geologic mapping, phase 1 and 2 environmental site investigation and environmental compliance inspections on Natural Gas Pipeline construction and restoration. Having been involved in numerous projects in numerous states and having worked with agency and company representatives along with their technical staff has allowed me valuable interpersonal and communications skills required to successfully work with others and get the job done. Some of my responsibilities while working outside academia include coordinating my inspection and report preparation schedule on environmental inspections and consulting in compliance issues on natural gas pipeline construction and restoration projects. Here at St. Lawrence it has been my pleasure to provide aid and support to Faculty and Students concerning their lab projects and field trips and also helping with the day to day needs of the Geology Department. If the chance presents, do stop by and lets talk geology…
