I am a geologist-in-training with Tetra Tech Canada’s Arctic Group and a northern-based additional trainee in the LEAP program. I completed my geology diploma at the northern based Yukon University before completing by geology degree at Mount Royal University in Calgary.
Prior to joining Tetra Tech’s Arctic Group I worked in mineral exploration for seven years at various sites across the north in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and British Columbia. At my current position I work on a variety of geological and geotechnical projects related to permafrost and potential permafrost thaw. Some exciting projects include surficial geology and hazard mapping for permafrost and non-permafrost related features along the proposed Strange Lake access road in northern Labrador and permafrost and bedrock characterization for the Iqaluit Nukkiksautiit Hydroelectric Project on southern Baffin Island. I am excited to gain a broader understanding of permafrost and permafrost thaw processes through the LEAP program.
