"I worked for ABC International Corp. for five years as their environmental impact specialist. I assessed the impacts on local communities and I felt I had a powerful impact on the assessment and implementation to not only protect local communities but also in improving their regional health and protecting their wildlife. During that position, I moved to Canada for 3 years. It was a pretty rural location and there was some initial culture shock involved which I overcame and immersed myself in the community, building lasting relations."
