Dynamic Environmental Engineer with a rich background in environmental services, wastewater treatment, industrial security, and educational tutoring. My academic pursuits culminated in a thesis focused on the treatment of dyed waters from textile industries using oxy-reductases from a single vegetable source. This research underscored my expertise in leveraging biotechnological solutions to address pressing environmental challenges.

In addition to my academic achievements, I possess extensive professional experience that spans various roles and responsibilities. As an EHS Supervisor, I spearheaded initiatives to ensure compliance with environmental regulations during the construction of a wastewater treatment plant. My leadership facilitated daily inspections, permit creation, and the development of safety programs, mitigating risks and promoting a culture of safety among construction personnel. Furthermore, my role involved training and supervising construction operations, emphasizing the importance of safety protocols and equipment usage.

Transitioning to the role of Environmental Services Account Executive, I excelled in managing accreditation processes for environmental standards across diverse client portfolios. My efforts led to the enhancement of company practices through the implementation of a new quality program, which significantly improved client satisfaction and regulatory adherence.

During my tenure as a Research Assistant at Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla, I conducted pioneering research on the purification of peroxidase enzymes sourced from chayoteste to facilitate the removal of aniline compounds and textile dyes from water samples. Employing membrane-assisted reverse osmosis techniques, I achieved remarkable results, showcasing over 90% removal of targeted compounds and demonstrating the efficacy of biotechnological interventions in environmental remediation.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I am passionate about education, with experience as a tutor in arithmetic, statistics, and geometry at Kumon. I possess a strong academic foundation supported by coursework in Environmental Toxicology, Technical Drawing, Prevention and Control of Air, Soil, and Water Pollution, Risk Assessment, Bioremediation, Water, Air, Soil Analysis, Quality Management Systems, Experimental Design, and Data Analysis, Industrial Safety and Hygiene, Solid and Hazardous Waste, Audits and Environmental Impact, Research and Development Project, Numerical Analysis, and Project Management. This comprehensive education equips me with a diverse skill set that complements my professional experiences, enabling me to tackle complex environmental challenges.

I am a driven and adaptable professional dedicated to leveraging my expertise and experiences to drive positive environmental impact and achieve sustainable outcomes. With a keen interest in continuous learning, coupled with a zest for reading, writing, cooking, and travel, I am well-prepared to bring valuable contributions to any project or initiative with a blend of professionalism and approachability.
