    Blue Heron employee spotlight on Jessika Heinemann

    EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: GET TO KNOW THE TEAM

    JESSIKA O. HEINEMANN

    ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT MANAGER

    Meet Jessika O. Heinemann, Environmental Project Manager, a 2021 addition to our Blue Heron Environmental team.

    Jessika Heinemann joined Blue Heron Environmental in February 2021. Ms. Heinemann holds a Specialized Honours Bachelor of Environmental Studies, and a minor in Physical Geography, specializing in resource management and hydrology.

    Ms. Heinemann started off working in Environmental Compliance for industry, before working in the private, engineering consulting sector for 8 years as an Environmental Remediation and Hydrogeological Specialist.

    We asked Jessika to answer a few questions to help our clients get to know her better.

    Jessika Heinemann - Environmental Project Manager

    GET TO KNOW RENÉE BAUSCH

    HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT BLUE HERON ENVIRONMENTAL?

    Through divine intervention! My dad, and his family, grew up in Manitouwadge – I come from a family of miners. I felt called to lean into my family’s history – and my research led me to the amazing Blue Heron team.

    WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT MANAGER?

    As a born environmentalist and people pleaser, my favourite part of my job is being able to problem solve and liaise on behalf of the client, within the realm of environmental protection.

    Being retained by a client is an honour in this competitive field, so nothing feels as good as achieving their goals while helping to alleviate their stress, all while working to protect the environment!

    WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?

    It was in retail – selling luxury kids clothing and beanie babies!

    It may be no coincidence that neither are a part of my life now!

    IF YOU COULD PICK UP ANY NEW SKILL IN AN INSTANT, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

    Salsa dancing!

    GOT ANY FAVORITE QUOTES?

    “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

    ― Jane Goodall

    “All good things are wild and free”

    – Henry David Thoreau

    There are two means of refuge from the misery of life — music and cats.“

    – Albert Schweitzer

    WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO IN THE NEXT YEAR THAT YOU’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE?

    Complete the renovations on our house! And run a half-marathon. And travel to Italy.

    And Costa Rica…..I’ve been cooped up too long!

    WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE YOU’VE EVER VISITED?

    Hands down, Newfoundland. While I’m a sun and heat worshiper, there is nowhere I’ve been that was as geologically captivating as that island, and the people are the kindest and most fun I have ever encountered.
