I am currently employed at the U.S. Army Public Health Command (USAPHC) in the Occupational Health Science Portfolio. My role at the USAPHC includes evaluating environmental and occupational sampling data and preparing technical reports on potential exposures. In addition, I have over seven years of work experience in the environmental health with the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH). My experience with PADOH includes; preparing technical documents in conjunction with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) at environmental sites; evaluating potential health hazards, including exposures to lead in drinking water; communicating the results of health assessments; serving as an agency liaison; participating in multi-agency projects; assessing the relationship between exposure and the health effects; and providing conclusions and recommendations to control environmental exposures. As part of my position at PADOH, I have written 17 health consultation documents, which are published on ATSDR website. I also have five years of experience performing laboratory analysis of biological samples and the collection of environmental samples (groundwater and soil samples) at environmental sites.
- Performs environmental and occupation field sampling including the collecting of indoor air samples to assess potential exposures to chemical and biological agents.
- Prepares written technical assessments of environmental and occupational sampling data include, such as lead and volatile organics, to assess the magnitude of exposures and provides recommendations to control potential health hazards.
- Reviews environmental and occupational sampling data and compares the results against regulatory and health standards.
- Compiles and analyzes statistical data from environmental and occupational investigations to assess the magnitude of exposure to hazards and recommendations
- Inputs and analyzes data in the Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness System (DOEHRS) database.
- Provide health education, the preparation of factsheets and other training aids in the area of environmental and occupational health.
- Prepared technical reports on environmental sampling data, exposure assessments, and the potential health effects from chemicals at contaminated waste sites and residential homes, including lead exposures in drinking water, in collaboration with ATSDR.
- Reviewed and summarized environmental monitoring data from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protections Drinking Water Reporting System.
- Assisted in evaluating occupational lead exposures including reviewing data in the adult blood lead epidemiology surveillance (ABLES), conducting site visits, risk communication, and providing technical advice and education materials.
- Used x-ray fluorescence (XRF) field instrumentation for the analysis of lead in indoor paint and dust samples.
- Reviewed scientific literature and government databases, such as PubMed, CDC, and EPA on toxicological effects from chemical exposures at environmental sites.
- Provided technical assistance and guidance on health and environmental issues to internal and external stakeholders including government agencies, industry, local community, and political representatives.
- Recommended health actions and conclusions, based on scientific data and analysis, to mitigate exposures, reduce disease and improve the health of the community and workers.
- Managed the biology laboratory, including plating and analyzing bacterial samples and supervising student workers.
- Responsible for the grant management for the Biology Departments
- Member of the Health & Safety committee, responsible for handling blood borne pathogens, chemical hygiene and laboratory safety issues.
- Conducted laboratory research on biological tissue samples for oncology clinical trials.
- Performed laboratory preparations including plating of bacterial cells, PCR analysis, and tissue cultures.
- Summarized and documented experimental data for technical reports and group presentations.
- Corresponded with doctors, hospitals and other laboratories regarding sample collection, analysis, results and case reports related to clinical trials
- Reviewed scientific journals and research articles relative to the research.
- Collected environmental samples, including ground water and soil samples, from contaminated waste sites.
- Utilized and calibrated field instrumentation such as ultraviolet (UV) photoionization detector (PID) for volatile organic compounds, groundwater probes to measure pH, and oxygen meter.
- Received training in health and safety issues related to hazardous waste sites, including proper personal protective equipment, MSDS review, respiratory protection, and chemical and physical hazards at waste sites, based on OSHA standards
- Summarized field and laboratory data into reports for environmental monitoring studies.
- Evaluated the state and federal regulatory compliance issues associated with waste sites.
- Experienced in the use of SPSS statistical software.
- Trained in the use of ArcGIS mapping software.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office and Microsoft Publisher.
- Excellent communication skills
