...MoreWith my Background in Biochemistry; the integrated way that systems work fascinated me from the beginning. Environmental Biochemistry became my main focus, which then lead to my career choice in Environmental Management. I am passionate about my career choice and have been working as an Environmental Consultant for 2 years now. During this time I have gained insight and experience in knowledge of the environment including Rehabilitation and Impact Assessments.
My involvement in Off-Shore work has lead me into numerous fields such as Hazardous Materials Management and Waste Management. Keeping up to date with the latest technology and research, I feel, is pivotal in this field as the environment and issues surrounding it change so regularly. I avidly read environmental newsletters and journals. I feel that, especially in this field one needs to be self-disciplined and practical as well as have a keen eye for detail. I am capable of making good, clear judgments on certain topics and have always been able to work well under pressure and meet deadlines.
I found that my greatest achievement arriving in Thailand was; without any understanding of the Culture, laws and regulations; was able to learn and prepare, within 3 months, for an ISO audit, where it was my responsibility to re-write our manual to the current standards. I am pleased to say we passed with flying colors.
I wanted to concrete what I had learnt practially in Thailand, through furthering my education in Australia. I completed my postgraduate studies in Australia and moved to New Zealand.
