While studying for a BSc in Environmental Science at the Royal University of Phnom Penh, Sreyneang worked on an International Foundation Science (IFS) Project conducting field research and laboratory analysis of water quality, particularly evaluating the efficiency of Phnom Penh’s wetlands waste treatment prior to it entering the Tonle Sap/Bassac/Mekong river system.  After graduating in 2008, she was selected to work for two years on a bridge development program with the Resource Development International-Cambodia (RDI-C) organization, which gave her a chance to meet professionals from various countries, including PhD researchers in water treatment and environmental pollution and academic staff from Buffalo State and Columbia Universities. In early September 2010, she was selected to work on the EU Asia-Link CALIBRE Project and complete training at the University of Joseph Fourier in France, gaining further experience in laboratory work and research, with an emphasis on environmental pollution and sustainable development. 

Sreyneang plans to complete her MSc degree and apply the knowledge she has gained to teaching and research at the Royal University of Phnom Penh.

Sreyneang’s other experience includes research in eco-tourism, social economy, health surveying and natural resource management.  She has also worked for the Cambodia Volunteer Society and as part of a project management team.
