Summary
Third-year Bachelor of Environmental Science (Honours) student at the University of Canterbury, majoring in Freshwater. I bring a strong passion for the NZ landscape and extensive knowledge of environmental concepts such as water management, freshwater ecosystems and Mātauranga Maori. My field experience includes collecting fish and invertebrates as well as conducting hydrological and water chemistry assessments. I am also familiar with key New Zealand environmental legislation, including the Resource Management Act (RMA) and National Policy Statements. Additionally I have strong communication skills, experience with R, excel and word and hold a current first aid certificate.
