About Me
An ecotoxicologist with a PhD in Biology and a thesis in marine biology, I have been woorking in the environmental field since 2007. I possesse an expertise in environmental toxicology, specializing in issues relating to pollution and emerging contaminants (nanoparticles, oils sands extracts, metals, wastewaters) which I acquired while studying for my PhD and working with Environment Canada. I am also comfortable interacting with companies, universities and government. I have supervised people (master and bacchelor students), written scientific reports and peer reviewed publications. I have excellent communication skills to convey information to people clearly and simply.
