Current Research Interests Senior Environmental Analyst, Perrin Quarles Associates, Charlottesville, VA, 1996-present. Performed a variety of work under contracts with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Served as data analyst, database manager, software technical support, technical writer, web designer, and data/GIS graphics specialist. Data manager for EPA's National Asbestos Registry System (NARS) which required maintaining high quality data and the issuance of accurate reports to EPA's Enforcement Planning, Targeting, and Data Division. Conducted several two-day training sessions on the Asbestos Contractor Tracking System to agencies around the nation. Served as team leader and responsible for data maintenance of the NARS website, used to provide public access to compliance data related to EPA's asbestos regulations. Responsible for producing the Annual NOx Compliance Report for the Clean Air Markets Division including data calculations, GIS map graphics, and technical writing. Gathered information and analyzed data on the use of selective catalytic reduction to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides at coal-fired utility boilers in Europe for publication. Led team of programmers in developing emissions data website for EPA's Acid Rain Division involving large quantities of data and html programming. Developed numerous graphical representations and GIS-based maps depicting scientific processes for regulatory documents, web pages, and presentations. Provided technical support and testing for software programs and web applications. Technical proposal coordinator for preparing proposals for contracts with EPA's Global Climate Change Division, Clean Air Markets Division, and Emissions Measurement Branch. Publications and Presentations January, 1995. Virginia Coastal Reserve/ Long-Term Ecological Research All-Scientists Meeting. Presented research on isotopic organic geochemistry at the VCR/LTER site.
