Garrett R.J. MacDonald

With 11 years of experience within the environmental sector, I am a self-motivated and organized professional possessing exemplary problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Strong written and verbal communication skills are central to my environmental consulting work as these are employed daily in frequent and essential interactions with managers, co-workers, and external contractors, as well as in my frequent role as supervisor and as trainer and mentor to new employees. As a confident and concise communicator, I am able to deliver enthusiastic presentations with clarity and humour to diverse audiences, as well as skilled at presenting technical and abstract concepts in a clear and concise way. I view teaching and learning as a dynamic, interactive and lifelong process, and appreciate the importance of linking education with community stakeholders; for instance, through applied learning opportunities.
