Work Experience

August 2010 - Present

Primerica

Representative (Part Time)

Provide financial services to various Clients.

March 2009 - August 2010

B&B Environmental Safety, Inc., Lathrop, CA

Field Chemist (Environmental Safety and Consulting)

Responsibilities: Served as Project Scientist for the Environmental Risk

and Fate of Chemicals on projects. Provided technical reviews in support of

proposals and bids on government and military procurements (Request for

Proposals, RFPs). Worked closely with HAZMAT personnel and oversaw the

regulatory aspects of chemical exposure and/or uptake, documented

conditions on project sites, and provided technical support. Performed data

analysis and provided senior technical review of all documents and reports

produced.

July 2007 - November 2008

Condor Earth Technologies, Inc., Stockton, CA

Environmental Specialist (Environmental Consulting)

Responsibilities: Performed environmental and GIS project management tasks

through the use of ArcGIS. Conducted Environmental Site Assessments (ESA),

site reconnaissance (field sampling and monitoring of the Site and the

adjoining properties), soil and groundwater investigations, and interviewed

clients and property owners. Prepared proposals for future work, workplans

and health and safety plans for employee safety during field operations,

and conducted Phase I, Phase II, Preliminary Environmental Assessments, and

Removal Action Completion reports for Clients and the state of California.

Assisted on projects for stormwater pollution prevention. Industries

Served: School Districts and Residential Development.

May 2006 - June 2007

USDA-ARS, Parlier, CA

Post-Doctoral Researcher: Research Biologist

Responsibilities: Developed a set of soil parameters (texture, water

content, temperature and organic matter) and surface seal treatments (tarp,

water and chemical) for achieving high fumigation efficacy while reducing

emissions. Registered fumigants, i.e., 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) and

chloropicrin (CP), were examined. Additionally, partitioning of the

fumigants among gas, liquid, and solid phases and the emission potential

was quantified under different soil conditions

January 2002 - May 2006

Department of Agronomy & Environmental Management

Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA

Graduate Research Assistant

Responsibilities: Refined experimental apparatus and protocol for the

intact soil core method of studying pesticide degradation, using BAS 505

(for control of fungal disease in turf and cereal crops, including wheat)

as - experimental compound, and to simplify this methodology for use as a

routine complement to batch degradation studies in support for pesticide

registration. The use of first-order and nonlinear degradation models as

well as a Freundlich isotherm for adsorption were used.

August 2000 - December 2001

Department of Environmental Sciences

Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA

Graduate Research Assistant

Responsibilities: Designed a bench scale in-situ remediation system for

treatment of petroleum contaminated drilling muds and soil from Galliano,

Sicily. Immobilized bioreactors were installed in cross-sectional

microcosms to aid in inoculation of drilling muds. Pseudomonas putida sp.

was used for the experiment. This research was performed to aid in the

minimization of surface runoff, the need for excavation, and offsite

disposal.

January 2000 - August 2000

Department of Environmental Sciences

Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY

Undergraduate Intern

Responsibilities: Developed a remediation approach for radioactive-corroded

low carbon steel surfaces in support for decommissioning nuclear facilities

through the use of wet chemistry methods. Various methods included citrate-, citrate-oxalate, and citrate-oxalate-peroxide treatments. Residual

effluent was treated through bio- and photo-degradation techniques.

Residual effects of radio labeled materials in rusted surface were also

examined.
