My day typically starts with a busy morning. I prepare breakfast while my daughter gets ready for school. I then take my dog for a walk and bike before dropping my daughter off at school. Once I return to my workstation at home, I check the weather at all our sites and inform the personnel in our facilities of any red flags. 

When I first joined EDC, I saw how serious they were about protecting the environment, which was essential to me. Over the years, I have seen improvements in the culture, people become more agile, and more accommodating to new ideas. We are now more collaborative and engaging, and innovations are highly encouraged. We have shifted our focus towards doing more work in the background, such as audits and special projects.

I started in EDC as an Air Quality Specialist in 2011 wherein I initially focused on complying with DENR regulations. However, I and the rest of the environmental management team have evolved to think beyond compliance and have shifted our focus toward sustainability and regeneration.

I love being on fieldwork or on our geothermal sites because the environment is refreshing and relaxing, a great way to recharge. When it comes to my personal life, as a family, we also try to change our scenery occasionally and escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

For me, being regenerative means being a good citizen of this planet and taking care of the environment. We do our part at home by being mindful of the products we buy and use, minimizing our electricity consumption, and even composting our soil. We inspire others to do the same, and I often volunteer for talks to encourage others to make small changes that can have a significant impact.

I feel blessed to be a part of EDC, a company that shares my values and commitment to protecting the environment. It’s important to me to be a good human and take care of the community and the environment, and I plan to continue doing so for years to come.
