Hello, my name is Liz, and I am a biosafety specialist with a passion for protecting our planet and a commitment to lifelong learning! With an undergraduate degree in environmental science and an upcoming master’s degree in environmental engineering, I am eager to delve deeper into the environmental challenges we face today.My early career has been spent in preclinical research and development, specializing in high containment and animal model research. This experience has equipped me with a unique set of skills and a meticulous approach to scientific inquiry. Although rewarding in its own right, I am shifting my focus towards environmental research, driven by a strong belief in the power of local policy and community engagement to effect change. I am dedicated to developing sustainable solutions that not only address global environmental issues but also resonate with and benefit local communities.Outside of my professional pursuits, you’ll often find me hiking and exploring the natural world, always on the lookout for new knowledge and experiences. I believe that every step we take in nature and every piece of information we gather can contribute to a more sustainable future.Let’s connect to discuss environmental science, policy, community initiatives, or simply to share insights and stories from the great outdoors!
