Speaker

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1998 with a B.A. In Biology. Following graduation I went to work for the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality in the Radiation Section.

I was hired as a Radiation Inspector and then became the Radiation Licensing Supervisor. In 2021 I was promoted to the Environmental Scientist Senior Staff DCLB where I assist with inspections, licensing and other special projects in Radiation. I am currently the Vice-Chair for the Central Interstate Low Level Waste Commission and the Louisiana State Liaison Officer (SLO) for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
