Collaborate with clients and businesses to identify and evaluate possible sources of food toxicity, indoor air quality, and chemical toxicity. This involves conducting thorough risk assessment and environmental impact assessments to provide comprehensive recommendations for reducing or eliminating these hazards. I also perform environmental sampling, including air and dust testing, and evaluate the results to identify potential sources of toxicity. Based on these findings, I develop customized strategies for minimizing exposure to harmful substances. These strategies may include implementing ventilation systems, using non-toxic products, or replacing certain materials.

For over a decade, successfully managed and supervised a team of over 50 independent consultants, overseeing the product supply chain to multiple retail outlets, including Whole Foods.
