Air Quality Permitting*Acted as a liaison between industrial clients and regulating authorities to ensure permit conditions meet regulatory requirements and allowed industrial clients the desired production and compliance flexibility. *Developed extensive air quality emission quantification for a wide range of complex industrial applications, pollutants, and potential permitting strategies. *Composed several permit applications and continued communication with regulators; results have included reduced permit timeline, reduced compliance tracking/recordkeeping requirements, and removed air quality testing requirement.Regulatory Applicability and Compliance *Audited current tracking, recordkeeping, reporting, and general practice of compliance with local, state, and federal regulations; provided recommendations for improving compliance demonstration. *Created a compliance manual including California and federal regulatory requirements and company policy for ozone depleting substances with a follow-up technical presentation and audits.*Analyzed various operating scenarios resulting in a final user friendly adaptable Excel workbook. Final product used to determine modification and design decisions for the facility to reduce permitting requirements and timeline.Air Quality Dispersion ModelingConducted and managed near field dispersion modeling projects utilizing air dispersion models such as AERSCREEN and AERMOD for various industries; notably, mining, pulp and paper, coating applications, data centers, and natural gas compressor stations. Analyses have included project increases for SIL or PSD and/or NAAQS modeling, modeling of roadway and fugitive emissions such as blasting and material transfer points, physical collection of modeling parameter measurements at manufacturing and mining sites, culpability analyses, toxic modeling, and coordination with the local modeling authorities.

*Primary consultant for a Greenfield supplement manufacturing facility air permit application in Eastern Washington requiring emission calculations, BACT review, significance modeling, and NAAQS modeling resulting in a completed permit to begin construction.*Consultant in PSD applicability project for pulp and paper client in Washington requiring extensive emission calculations including contemporaneous emissions, BACT review, significance modeling, NAAQS modeling, and regulatory applicability resulting in complete client satisfaction.*Experience in oil and gas industry for Title V renewal, TRI reporting, air emissions inventory, NESHAP BBBBBB reporting, and NESHAP QQQQ reporting.*Conducted a detailed air dispersion analysis for an aluminum smelter in Canada using the CALPUFF modeling system for both long range and near-field impacts in complex terrain. The project involved compilation and analysis of meteorological data trends as well as ambient monitored concentration data for the same facility. This project included technical analysis with visual aids for a non-technical public audience. Conducted a CALPUFF-ISC modeling analysis as part of an environmental assessment for a greenfield lime manufacturing plant in Canada. CALPUFF was used for low wind speeds to accurately describe the area. A CALPUFF-ISC model was also used to determine potential fogging and icing due to cooling tower water vapor production in California.

*Applied surface analysis techniques and tools, specifically XPS and SIMS, to quantify and qualify the chemical makeup of polymeric nanoparticles resulting in a thesis and paper. *Research scope was originally laid out by Professor; however activities to reach these goals were identified and organized with minimal supervision.

*Successfully managed 20 people in the “etch” process for wafer fabrication to meet time-targeted goals through excellent management and communication skills.*Collaborated with other managers to standardize target times to monitor etch tools using Microsoft Office products thereby regulating expectations for manufacturing.

Seattle, Wa, Us

*Analyzed SOx and NOX emission reducing chemical, Trona, in a large wood waste/coal fired boiler resulting in experimental plan and continued work upon leaving position.*Managed major analysis project of emissions requiring extensive internal and external collaboration and research to reach EPA regulations.
