Summary

Leveraging 8 years of experience in environmental policy analysis and economic modeling, I have consistently driven sustainable development initiatives and informed public policy decisions. My work has involved quantifying environmental impacts and developing cost-benefit analyses for various Canadian regulatory frameworks.

Adept at applying advanced econometric techniques to assess the economic valuation of ecosystem services and climate change adaptation strategies, I have a proven track record of translating complex data into actionable insights for government agencies and private sector clients.
