As a Laboratory Quality and Control Analyst with a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering, I bring a strong foundation in lab analysis, data quality, and environmental compliance. My role at Nexus Circular has allowed me to develop and conduct bench-scale testing to evaluate the compatibility of plastic feedstock in chemical recycling, ensuring high-quality output for client specifications. I work closely with cross-functional teams, providing insights that support operational decisions and contribute to continuous quality improvement in the recycling process.

In addition to my hands-on laboratory expertise, I have experience in AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor, which complement my analytical and organizational skills. I am passionate about environmental sustainability and advancing innovative solutions in waste management and resource recovery. My background also includes research support roles at the Carbon Management and Sequestration Center, where I focused on soil carbon storage projects, further strengthening my commitment to impactful environmental work.
