Entrepreneurship
Starting my own consulting company is a vision I’ve had for probably more than a decade, and with Manitoba Hydro undergoing period of a post-development transition I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to go it alone to explore projects I particularly enjoy. I’m fascinated with the environmental assessment process and the challenge in understanding how a project can affect the complex environmental linkages and relationships, and developing mechanisms to deal with potential adverse effects.
I love writing, editing and researching interesting topics, whether it’s a news story on a community event, or developing large, complex regulatory approvals documentation that balances the necessary technical details with plain language that can be readily understood. I feel passionately about helping Indigenous communities in developing land use and natural resources management plans, and with more than 30 years of experience I also enjoy sharing knowledge, particularly in an interactive workshop setting. I’m really excited to start working on these things!
