OBJECTIVE:
Apply risk management practices to ensure implementation of effective and innovative environmental restoration techniques at hazardous waste sites

EDUCATION:
Bryan College, Undergraduate Program, Dayton, TN (1985-1988) B.S. Natural Science (3.6 GPA, cum laude)
Graduate classes at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville

WORK HISTORY:
(July 2003 - 2005) Consulting for Sydcon Technical Services (STS). Primary task is review and design of sampling and analysis plans for hazardous laboratory waste disposal.

(July 2002) Visiting scientist at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH in Jülich, Germany. I assisted in the operation of the SRA-Europe 2002 conference at Humboldt University, Berlin. Also met with MUT staff to coordinate UT's online risk assessment tools with the risk communication models of MUT to support the needs of the European Union.

(11/98 - Current) Senior Research Associate at the University of Tennessee (UT) for The Institute for Environmental Modeling (TIEM). Primary functions: management of soft money contracts for the Risk Assessment Information System (RAIS) internet site and Oak Ridge Operations risk assessment consulting for Bechtel Jacobs Company, LLC (BJC). Secondary functions include providing chemical and radionuclide risk assessment support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Superfund, support of Spatial Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA) software quality assurance and supporting U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventative Medicine (USA CHPPM) remediation of chemical warfare agents (CWAs).

(12/96 - 10/98) Lockheed Martin Energy Research Corp. (LMER) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as the PORTS Human Health Risk Assessment Technical Lead (RATL) for the Toxicology and Risk Analysis (TRA) Section for the Risk Assessment Council (RAC). Primary duties include but are not limited to: oversight of all risk assessment activities, review of all risk related reports, risk management, interaction with state and federal regulatory agencies, participate in the RAC meetings to formulate risk policy for the DOE-ORO, assist DOE with assessment of remedial progress, and management of all in-house risk activities for PORTS. Secondary responsibilities include providing direct support to the PGDP RATL. This position requires applying my knowledge of risk assessment to the various projects underway at PGDP. Additional areas of responsibility are: TRA USDOE Center for Risk Excellence liaison, USDOE ORO risk-based prioritization team member, and Risk Assessment Information System contributing author and reviewer (http://rais.ornl.gov/).

(8/93 - 12/96) Human health risk assessor for LMER in support of PORTS and PGDP RATLs. Learned the EPA risk assessment guidance as directed by CERCLA/SARA. Duties included data gathering, toxicity assessments, exposure assessments, risk assessments, exposure modeling, environmental transport modeling, workplan writing, document review, writing PRG screening risk assessments, and oversight of related tasks. Notable baseline risk assessments (BRAs) for Paducah were the Northwest Plume, WAGs 1&7, KOW, WAGs 7&30, and WAG 17 BRAs. Notable reports completed were Background Concentrations and PRGs for Metals in Soil, Building C-410-D Proposed Fluorine Facility Risk Evaluation, North South Diversion Ditch Risk Evaluation, Building C-750-C Risk Evaluation, and Portsmouth Plantwide Human Health Risk Assessment. Complete publications list presented in subsequent pages.

(8/89 - 6/90) Graduate research included research in mammalian molecular genetics, plasmids, cell culture, DNA cloning, sequencing, and molecular biology techniques. Also worked on retroviral transpositions and class characterization. These techniques were used in conjunction with cancer research and the effects of radiation.

(1/89 - 8/89) As a University of Tennessee contractor, worked in the Health and Safety Research Division at ORNL. Digitized human C.A.T. scan images into three dimensional computer models. Software was then used to simulate radiation dose response in humans. In addition, collected data to establish relationships between age and lung size. Wrote the users manual for this system (ORNL/TM-11237). Generated results have been internationally recognized.

PROFESSIONAL SKILLS:
Working knowledge of VAX, Unix-based Workstation and PC hardware. Software frequently used: Database, Management, Spreadsheets, Graphics, Word Processing, HTML, Communication, Spatial Analysis and Decision Assistance (SADA), RESRAD, DUST, MapInfo, ArcView, and SAS.

AWARDS AND HONORS
ORNL World-Class Teamwork Award; Member of the "A" Team in TRA; received internship at ORNL; and College Chemistry Award
