What I'm looking for

I’m seeking project- or team-based roles in environmental remediation, compliance, and sustainability where I can lead field programs, develop regulatory guidance, and advance practical climate mitigation and community engagement.

I am an environmental scientist with experience leading remediation, compliance, and sustainability initiatives across federal and commercial projects. I have contributed to development of PFAS implementation guidance, led field teams for soil and groundwater sampling, and developed Community Involvement Plans for Superfund sites.

I develop SPCC plans, conduct EPCRA reporting, and audit environmental, health, and safety protocols at NOAA sites and other facilities. I manage end-to-end proposal development, technical writing, cost estimation, and training development for regulatory programs and Marine Reservists.

I act as an office sustainability coordinator and FAA-licensed small UAS pilot, and I prioritize practical climate mitigation, community engagement, and reliable field data to drive enforceable environmental outcomes.
