Client Service
On behalf of clients, Olga blends project management and technical leadership to complete impactful environmental solutions, building multidisciplinary teams that deliver data-driven and practical solutions. Her diverse environmental and infrastructure projects support federal, state, and municipal governments; Alaska Native Corporations; and oil & gas, legal, and other private industry clients. Olga’s work often includes contaminated site characterization, energy transition planning, solid waste management, environmental regulatory compliance, due diligence, and data management workflows. She rapidly synthesizes large volumes of disparate information into actionable insights and designs strategies that support both immediate decision-making and long-term value. Her work has elevated clients’ expectations for how environmental data can be visualized and used to drive decision-making.
At over a dozen large projects at former WWII and Cold War military facilities, Olga has earned a reputation for providing field teams with tools to quickly make informed decisions. These projects include several forward-operating facilities in the Aleutians, the Canadian Oil Pipeline, Federal Aviation Administration navigational aid stations, the Aniak White Alice Communications Station, the Kodiak Coast Guard Base, and the Whitter Fuel Depot. Her approach—rooted in the principles of the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Triad framework—maximizes the return on her clients’ field investments, particularly in remote or logistically challenging environments where Olga excels at field work. She applies the latest technologies and optimizing tools and methods, including being a recognized expert in the Ultra-Violet Optical Screening Tool (UVOST) and offers her expertise in interpreting results for high resolution site characterization tools.
Other recent projects include inventorying abandoned mine land across Alaska; supporting a municipal-solid-waste-to-energy facility; reviewing lingering oil impacts with respect to the Clean Water Act; inventorying drinking-water lines for lead; evaluating remedial options for petroleum, metals, solvents, and PCBs; and conducting environmental assessments for capital projects.
Olga serves on the Board of Advisors for the University of Alaska-Anchorage Civil Engineering Department, mentors through the Anchorage School District, and is active in the Society of Women Engineers. She has collaborated with experts nationwide in the Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council’s (ITRC) teams, including Environmental Data Management and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Risk. In 2021, Olga was named the Alaska Engineer of the Year.
