Environmental Consultant I

Northeast Texas native Jacey Sturch joined ONE Environmental Group’s Atlanta office in January 2024. Her focus there is due diligence projects, including Phase I ESAs and Phase II site investigations, as well as assisting with on-going groundwater monitoring and site remediation projects. She will also be completing industrial compliance work including groundwater and soil sampling, storm water monitoring and inspections, and overall environmental compliance field work.

Jacey earned a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with a biology minor at Stephen F. Austin University and worked for three years in environmental consulting before joining the team at ONE. “After researching the company and its values, I was impressed by how ONE operates and what it stands for,” she said. “Seeing how they care for their employees made me want to accept the job once it was offered.”

Jacey grew up planning to be a professional author and had her first book, the high fantasy “Night of a Thousand Lights,” published in 2021. As much as she enjoys writing, her devotion to the environment stems from being raised in the culture of the Native American tribe Choctaw.

“A big part of our culture is to be a good steward to the Earth and leave it in a good place, not just for my children but for the next seven generations,” she said. “I was taught to care about the environment ever since I was a very little kid.” Jacey is writing a second book in her free time. She also enjoys co-op video games, especially Baldur’s Gate 3, and loves to travel. She vacationed last summer on a cruise to the Caribbean, which included a stop in Haiti. She’s hopeful that Ireland and Scotland are next.
