After completing my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at the University of Kentucky in 2011, I chose to expand my expertise in the Environmental field by pursuing a Master of Environmental Engineering at the University of Cincinnati in 2012, completing the degree in 2013. Since then, I have held positions focusing on environmental permitting, environmental compliance, environmental reporting, and the identification and implementation of projects tied to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, such as energy, waste, and water-use reduction. Sustainability and environmental pollution prevention are my passion, and to foster my growth and expertise, I have begun the pursuit of a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a planned focus on ESG at Xavier University.
