About

As a Chemical Engineer with a Bachelor of Science from Penn State University, I bring a strong foundation in science and engineering to my work at Eastern Research Group (ERG), where I contribute to projects that advance environmental protection and sustainability. At ERG, I support the U.S. EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance across two cornerstone environmental programs. Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), I conduct inspections and assess facility compliance, helping ensure that hazardous and solid waste is managed in accordance with federal standards. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), I work alongside EPA's Air Enforcement Division (AED) to analyze regulatory data, identify potential violations, and support enforcement actions that protect air quality and hold regulated entities accountable. I also partner with state clients on air permitting processes, helping navigate complex regulatory requirements while engaging with and responding to public concerns. Most recently, I've expanded my work to include regulatory analysis of data centers — a rapidly growing sector with significant implications for energy use and air quality — supporting efforts to ensure this infrastructure scales responsibly within existing environmental frameworks. Prior to ERG, I worked at The Chemours Company, where I helped advance hydrogen technology for clean energy applications, applying strong analytical and communication skills to optimize processes and support sustainable energy solutions. Driven by a passion for environmental stewardship, I aim to bridge technical expertise with real-world impact — contributing to a cleaner, more resilient future.
