Alluvium Group Graduate Stories

Sit down and seriously consider what kind of work would make you engaged, interested, and satisfied if you had to do it every day. Think about the kinds of people you want to be surrounded by. Do they have the same core values as you? Deep down, do they care about the big-picture stuff in a similar or complementary way to you? This is so important!

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to know what you want to do once you finish university. Take time to travel – reflect, reset, and experience new things. I believe if you are passionate about sustainability and the environment the best thing to do is to enroll in an environment-related university degree.

I always get excited at the opportunity to learn something new and have been working on developing my skills over a variety of programs. I also love that this job provides the opportunity to do fieldwork. I have been on several site visits, walking along rivers, sampling water at wetlands, and canoeing or boating down rivers looking at bank erosion and structural damage. The field assessments are always so exciting, and it is great to get out of the office every once in a while. I also love the community culture at Alluvium. Everyone here knows each other and gets along well. We often engage in out-of-work activities such as trivia nights, swimming, or tennis. I always feel welcomed and supported here.
