About

My strongest interests involve connecting environmental chemistry of pharmaceuticals, personal care products and other emerging contaminants with toxicology and the etiology of biological disruption. After completing my B.S. degree I worked at the University of Colorado at Denver researching endocrine disruption in fish exposed to trace residues of persistent organic contaminants. After completing an M.Sc. degree at Kingston University London, I now continue researching emerging issues relating to environmental chemistry and toxicology while pursuing a PhD. Such research avenues include assessment of the spatial distribution, partition, bioaccumulation and adsorption to microplastic particles of emerging contaminants in English rivers.

  • PhD Student at Kingston University
    Oct 2013 - Present · 12 yrs 10 mos

  • Researcher at University of Colorado at Denver
    May 2011 - Aug 2012 · 1 yr 4 mos

    At the University of Colorado Denver, research focused on emerging eco-human health issues of emerging contaminants, particularly endocrine disruption in suckerfish from Boulder Creek (Boulder, CO, USA). Here I developed extensive experience in laboratory techniques within the field of histology, environmental studies, and interdisciplinary research
