I've also investigated water quality in the Descalabrado River, using field sampling, R Statistical Computing, and ArcGIS to assess pesticide risks and visualize environmental data. My background includes environmental risk assessment, hydroponic operations, food safety, USDA compliance, and bilingual communication in English and Spanish.
