Environmental Scientist

I currently hold two very different roles, one as an environmental scientist and one as a program manager for a sports organization. As an environmental scientist I am responsible for collecting and compiling environmental data, presenting material to clients, and working closely with state regulatory agencies to ensure environmental regulations are met.  As a program manager I coordinate and schedule over 180 events, act as the primary contact for our customers, and create and curate content for multiple social media platforms.

I am easily able to work on multiple projects at once.  I have excellent organizational skills, and I am very punctual.  

I have a degree in Marine Biology from UC Santa Cruz, and am Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 40hr certified.  I am always looking for new opportunities.

- Provide administrative support for the President 
- Work with local and state regulatory agencies to ensure environmental regulations are met

- Prepare reports and presentations that explain findings 
- Provide accounting services and support

This is the largest fencing tournament in the country and will draw over 5,000 fencers from across the nation.  

My role as Program Manager includes:

- Coordinate and schedule over 175 events (80 tournaments) during the course of the fencing season
