My work experience also includes elaboration and review of environmental management plans, stakeholder plans and sustainability chapters for environmental impact assessment studies.

My duties include reporting and delivery to meet deadlines, supervising local sub-consultants, budget control, project administration and management, coordination and teamwork with specialist scientists, on-site monitoring, stakeholder consultations and client liaison. This experience shows my strong organizational skills and teamwork in multi-ethnic environment. I am also capable to prioritize work to meet tight deadlines.

Other experience includes working with the Department of Natural Resources of North Carolina (US), Division of Coastal Management assisting in coastal management projects such as Calculating Shoreline Change Rates in North Carolina coast using both remote sensing and geographical information system software, demonstrating my research, computer skills and database management.
