Relevant Experience
Data Management
Multisite Environmental Monitoring Database Support, United States — Managed and integrated laboratory, field, spatial, and geological data into centralized environmental databases to support multidisciplinary monitoring programs across multiple states. Standardized incoming data sets, supported data migration from legacy systems, and ensured long‑term data integrity using EQuIS, MS AccessTM, and MS SQL Server. Coordinated with project teams and laboratories to resolve data inconsistencies and maintain records used for reporting and regulatory review.
Routine and Event‑Based Sampling Support, North Carolina — Created and maintained structured sampling events within EQuIS Collect to support field operations. Managed sample metadata, analytical method alignment, and chain‑of‑custody forms. Provided support to field staff and project teams to ensure accurate sample tracking and seamless integration of field data with laboratory results.
Soil and Groundwater Monitoring Program, United States — Supported recurring environmental monitoring efforts involving soil, groundwater, and surface water data sets. Organized field and laboratory data to ensure consistency, maintained long‑term monitoring records, and created reports used for project evaluation and regulatory purposes.
Data Quality Assurance
Laboratory Data Validation Program, United States — Performed comprehensive QA/QC reviews of environmental laboratory data in accordance with EPA National Functional Guidelines. Evaluated electronic data deliverables for completeness, analytical accuracy, qualification flagging, and method compliance across organic, inorganic, metals, and PFAS analyses. Prepared detailed validation narratives and supported corrective actions prior to database ingestion and reporting.
Environmental Data Analysis and Reporting, United States — Generated recurring and custom environmental data reports using database queries and in‑house analytical tools. Performed data preprocessing and post‑processing using ExcelTM to optimize database integration. Created summary reports for scientists, engineers, and project managers.
Environmental Technical Writing Support, North Carolina — Prepared technical memoranda, QA/QC narratives, and analytical summaries translating complex environmental data into clear, decision‑ready language. Supported internal and external reporting needs for multidisciplinary project teams and regulatory review processes.
PFAS/Emerging Contaminants
PFAS Investigation, North Carolina — Supported large‑scale PFAS monitoring efforts associated with surface and groundwater contamination. Reviewed third‑party laboratory reports for analytical accuracy and adherence to evolving PFAS methodologies. Managed PFAS data sets used in regulatory decision‑making, public health evaluations, and stakeholder communications. Remained current on emerging analytical and regulatory guidance.
