Auckland

Summary

I hold a Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering from the University of Auckland, with expertise in hydrogeology, hydrochemistry, and surface water quality modeling. My academic and research experience, including nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in coastal systems, has equipped me with strong skills in water sampling, flow analysis, data interpretation, and modeling using tools like R, Linux, and Office software.
In addition to academics, I bring practical experience from roles such as assistant environmental engineer in China, where I developed proficiency in ArcGIS and technical reporting, and as a data analysis intern at Relab, where I honed problem-solving and dataset interpretation skills. My most recent position as a Quantity Surveyor at Ateck Steel strengthened my ability to read technical drawings, manage project timelines, and communicate effectively with contractors and suppliers.
With a full New Zealand driver’s license, I am well-prepared for fieldwork and on-site investigations.
