About You

You are a broadly experienced resource economist who has undertaken benefit-cost and regulatory impact analyses and economic impact assessments, implemented numerous valuations of non-market goods including models of recreation demand, and applied decision analysis in your work. You have in-depth knowledge of natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) and have been involved in lost human use assessments and habitat and resource equivalency analysis for both oil spills and contaminated sites. You thrive on collaboration and working to find innovative approaches to resolving complex matters, such as environmental damage quantification, population-level ecological modeling, nature-based restoration, and the ethical basis of your work. A lifelong learner, you want to keep growing intellectually and professionally. You know how to communicate to diverse audiences and exceed clients’ expectations. Collaborating with colleagues in interdisciplinary efforts is exciting for you, and you are also comfortable working independently. Quality management and integrity are among your strongest principles.
