"My time at Great Ecology has been an invaluable real-world working experience. It has provided me with opportunities to learn and grow skills that otherwise I have not been exposed to. I've gained a better understanding of ecological consulting and had the opportunity to grow my own skills by assisting in project work. I am so grateful for the mentorship and support from the team, even with the fast-paced nature of the office every team member I interacted with was patient and supported my growth. "
