Safety Management, Indiana University- Bloomington, IN. 2000 M.A. Environmental Studies, University of Ill. - Springfield, IL. 1998 B.A. Physical Geography University of Hawaii - Honolulu, HI. EXPERIENCE 2016 - Present. Patent/Design Engineer - Remote Online Freelancer Routinely authors patents and scientific and technical articles, research articles and grants. Often involved in design engineering for inventors and startups. Experienced 3D illustrator with expertise in AutoCAD Inventor, Autodesk Fusion360 Microstation, Autodesk123, Keyshot and google sketchup. Proficient in statistical packages such as SPSS and Systat. Considered to be a ‘one-stop-shop’ for inventors. Sometimes injected directly into a client’s ongoing workflow as a design engineer, collaborator and consultant-. Curriculum Specialist & ESSYI Associate Director, HWS Colleges, Geneva, NY. As a Curriculum Specialist in the HWS Education Department, I develop environmental education lesson plans for high school teachers in order to promote the use of geo-spatial technologies and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the classroom. I generate GIS maps and design lesson plans grounded in STEM cores to explore environmental conservation strategies as part of a National Science Foundation grant-funded project called ‘Crossing Boundaries.’ I routinely collaborate with Cornell University educators and local high school teachers. I prepare lesson plans and units for web and print publications that analyze biodiversity conservation issues in upstate New York and in international regions such as Kenya and Puerto Rico. As part of the grant responsibilities, I facilitate group workshops and organize and disseminate technological resources for teachers through an open-source web server. I am also the Associate Director for the HWS Environmental Studies Summer Youth Institute (a two-week college experience program for high school students known as ‘ESSYI’). I am responsible for coordinating the logistics of the program: managing budgets, generating marketing materials, managing the website, scheduling faculty learning sessions, conducting advertising and outreach, organizing applications & records, maintaining equipment inventories, hiring and training student staff, and assisting in the selection of the actual program participants. I also chaperone during the week-long camping & wilderness expedition in the Adirondack Mountains-. Senior Environmental Consultant, Greystone, East Syracuse, NY Responsibilities included comprehensive, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) audit and program management consulting services for Fortune-500 medical equipment manufacturers; electronic communication component developers; sand and gravel processors, paper and pulp manufacturers; largescale dairy processors; as well as for college campus administrations in the Central, New York Region. EHS performance-based solutions were tailored around clients’ specific organizational models and were structured in an effort to build, and improve upon, their current level of EHS compliance. Environmental goals were achieved by working seamlessly with company presidents, managers and laborers to facilitate the development of company-wide, hazardous chemical procurement policies; researched and established indepth environmental procedures; developed hazardous waste stream strategies and hazardous waste space plans for new and existing structures; and coordinated episodic cleanouts of poorly-managed, existing hazardous waste storage spaces. Environmental projects also included compliance programs for the clean water act: spill prevention control and counter measure plans, best management plans, storm water pollution prevention plans and state discharge elimination system plans. Other projects included waterquality oriented, human risk assessments, laboratory chemical hygiene plans and sustainability assessments (energy usage and carbon footprint metrics) as well as emergency management plans. Safety compliance goals were achieved by continuously working with management to minimize hazards through accident investigations and engineering solutions. Safety cultures were improved by fostering worker participation and team building. Safety engineering services included designing process-specific, plans and models for process hazard analysis, job hazard analysis and fault hazard analysis in manufacturing environments- Pesticide Aerosol Drift Post-doctoral Researcher,Cornell NYSAES, Geneva, NY Research responsibilities included: Prototype development and testing of precision pesticide sprayers to minimize environmental impacts. Applying state-of-the-art control systems to increase spraying accuracy using RFID, PLC and GIS technologies. Acted as lead researcher for the development of a precision fruit sprayer prototype with Carnegie Mellon and the University of Florida on a USDA funded project. This work included the establishment of a robotic agricultural spraying system to minimize environmental and health impacts from pesticide drift in Florida orange groves. Responsible for coordinating Cornell’s role in the project that included pesticide application design and engineering drawings, prototype development and calibration site visits and collaborative meetings. New York research responsibilities included acting as lead grant writer, designer, engineer, field tester, statistical analyst, and article writer for programs associated with sprayer applications technology for local apple orchards and vineyards. These projects included testing new types of air flow controllers, infrared- controlled spray systems, and anemometer- based, tree canopy flow studies. - Environmental Health & Safety Specialist,Indiana University, Bloomington, IN Program responsibilities have included: Storm water management planning: conveyance mapping, illicit discharge investigation and elimination, water sampling, construction and best management practices inspections, education and outreach. Title V Air Quality Permitting for Indian University's Coal-fired Central Heating Plant: Quarterly and annual emission inventory and rate calculations for six stoker boilers with electrostatic precipitator and continuous opacity monitor. National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permitting: Outfall management and reporting outfall flow calculations and sampling for inactive coal pile runoff lagoons. Indoor Air Quality : Response, sampling, analysis and reporting, HVAC and infrastructure inspections and bioerosols sampling including: Fungi, VOCs, Formaldehyde, CO2, CO, H2S. Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures: Plan generation & management, tank and receiving water inventory, annual inspections & training. Ergonomics: Faculty and staff computer workstation evaluations and recommendations, departmental presentations. Safety Training: First Aid /CPR/AED, Fall Protection, Hearing Conservation, Lifting Safety, Eye Protection, Electrical Safety. Safety Training Database: Usability design and maintenance of campus-wide training inventory of all employees of the University system (including regional campuses).Videoconferencing: Management of Polycom videoconferencing system for national and international asynchronous environmental/safety presentations. - Senior Environmental Scientist, RAPPS Engineering, Springfield, IL Responsibilities included: Phase II site remediation project manager for polluted sites under the Illinois Leaking Underground Storage Tank and Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Projects included large-scale environmental risk assessments, brown field petroleum tank pulls, groundwater monitoring well development and sampling, asbestos management planning and abatement oversight, remediation and demolition site safety plans, EPA report generations, landfill submittals for hazardous waste and phase I reporting. Clients included gasoline service stations, vehicle service stations and pesticide load out facilities- Environmental Technician,Parametrix, Honolulu, HI Responsibilities Included: Environmental sampling, Civil CAD Design, Civil Roadway Design, Water Sampling, Soil Coring, marketing presentations- CAD Operator,CH2MHILL, Boston, MA Responsibilities Included: Generated CAD drawings for Boston's main artery project, sewer outfall project as well as numerous flow diagrams for chemical industry plants- Fire Insurance Surveyor,Factory Mutual Insurance, Walpole, MA REFERENCES Jim Makinster, Full Professor, ESSYI Director, Hobart & William Smith College -.
