About
A professional path that connects engineering, sustainability assurance, research, and education.
My work is shaped by both technical analysis and real-world implementation.
I began in textile engineering, developing a practical understanding of manufacturing systems, material performance, quality, and supply chains. I then expanded into Environmental Sciences & Management and Environmental Engineering, adding expertise in water and wastewater treatment, life cycle assessment, GIS, environmental management systems, and sustainability.
Across third-party auditing and quality assurance roles, I evaluated environmental, occupational health and safety, quality, traceability, and responsible-sourcing systems in manufacturing supply chains. At Lamar University, I supported resilience and sustainability research and completed an M.S. in Environmental Engineering. I now also teach Environmental Systems, connecting professional environmental practice with science education.
My long-term focus is practical environmental problem-solving: using engineering evidence, monitoring, management systems, and emerging technology to improve water security, resource efficiency, climate resilience, and environmental performance.
Research Areas
Six connected themes, one practical objective: better environmental decisions.
My research combines engineering fundamentals with AI, geospatial analysis, sustainability management, and industrial applications.
