Forest technician looking for my next field season.
Trilingual, cert-current, happiest in the rain with a tape and a tablet.
Three pieces of work that say more about how I show up than a bullet list can.
Deployed with a RHINO crew through the BC fire season — initial attack support, sustained action on active fires, and the camp routine that goes with it. Long shifts, hand tools, pumps and hose, and the unglamorous work of mop-up and patrol. I learned how a fire crew thinks under pressure and how much of the job is communication and pacing.
Field technician on a Kintera contract — laying out plots, reading the stand for pests and pathogens, capturing clean GPS, and turning a long day in the bush into data the office can actually use. Comfortable navigating off trail, working alone or paired, and keeping the data honest when the weather turns. The deliverable is only as good as the field card.
Front-line silviculture on a reforestation block with RHINO Reforestation — planting, brushing, and stand-tending work alongside survey support for stocking checks and plot data. This is where I learned what a contract actually demands of a crew: pace, quality, and the discipline of getting back on the slope after the weather has had its say.
Four seasons across silviculture, wildfire, and forest-tech work — most recent at the top.
Stand-level forest health, pests and pathogens, and the science behind a healthy block.
How BC forests are shifting under climate pressure and what adaptation looks like on the ground.
Lived and studied in Spain — where my Spanish went from school-level to working fluency.
I came into forestry because I wanted work that asked something of my body and gave me back a forest at the end of the day. Planting and surveying first, then wildfire, now technician work — every season has pushed me further into the woods and closer to the kind of land stewardship I want to do for the long haul.
I'm open to the right crew wherever they're working. What I'm looking for is honest field work and people who take it seriously — coastal silviculture, second-growth tending, fire-resilience work. That's the kind of file I'd like to carry.
I work in English, French, and Spanish, all fluently. On a working crew that turns into real things: French with Québec planting crews, Spanish on a mixed crew, and the patience to translate a safety briefing properly when it matters. It's a small edge, but it's a real one.

Working language across field crews and client deliverables.
Used daily with Québec planting crews and francophone partners.
Honed in Almería during a teaching degree, still in regular use.
If you're putting a crew together and the fit looks right, I'd be glad to hear from you. Email is the fastest way through — I'll respond the same day if I have signal.
Usually within a day.
