SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS

I have 11 years of experience related to environmental quality; bioremediation processes; hazardous waste management;

GIS; ecological risk assessment; design, operation, and optimization of soil remediation systems; microbiology; and, in

applying value ecology principles to the design of environmental monitoring systems. I have been responsible for evaluating, upgrading, and supporting hazardous waste management. Oil and gas experience, including upstream and downstream experience working on oil fields (exploration, production, and refining activities) from oil company (Petroleos

de Venezuela, S.A. PDVSA). I have experience in design, cost estimating, and development of work plans on environmental projects. It includes a number of fields related to data acquisition, management, and presentation, including

data analysis techniques. Also, I have driven numerous field sampling and field analysis events. I began to function as an

Ecologist more than 14 years ago on scientific projects in coastal wetland and savannah soil systems, in Venezuela. I worked on scientific environmental projects in the Central University of Venezuela, Sim ón Rodriguez University and PDVSA. I am legally authorized to work in the US.
