Summary
As a Vegetation Specialist and Certified Arborist with PEC since 2016, I have created and maintained relationships across multiple districts, gained access to locations of difficult members and overseen tree pruning where pruning was previously not attainable due to refusals. Having a passion for clear easements and to share an understanding of their benefits by educating both members and peers, I have created and overseen multiple vegetation clearing projects that included the creation of right of ways, and new roads and mass vegetation removal across multiple properties with multiple contractors and equipment types. I have a passion for seeing projects through to create a safe utility right of way for the public, wildlife, and lands. Additionally, my ability to use current software in the field of vegetation, including updated procedures, data management and accuracy, and communication has advanced with the technology, itself.
