● Helped organise meetings centred on Invasive Water Weed Management
● Assisted the Inspectorate in Data Entry and Verification
● Assisted the Legal Department in preparing license certificates and handing them over to clients
● Accompanied Inspectorate officers whilst they inspected premises with the aim of confirming whether households and companies were observing, or had contravened, certain environmental regulations.

Achievement: Whilst organising a follow up meeting for Invasive Water Weed Management, I suggested we include another group who my supervisor had mentioned whilst we were preparing for the first meeting but was not included. This was agreed to so long as I could find the contact details of this suggested group and contact them myself. Being able to do so, the group attended the meeting. When data was called for from the participants, this group was the first to reply and submitted the relevant data needed to make an informed decision.
