My research focuses on chemical contamination in drinking water, air and soil related to Superfund Sites. I also work with communities related to contamination, risk assessment and risk communication at the Jacksonville Ash sites and Fairfax Site. I was a collaboration on water sampling in Leon and Wakulla Counties at schools for lead levels in drinking fountains. I have experience with conduction field studies related to surveillance of pesticides and chemicals. I was a toxicology consultant for the Department of Health for years and supported the Division of Environmental Health and its programs and the county health departments. I enjoy collaborative research and publication related to research. To be a good teacher you must engrain your environmental health research in classes.
