She works closely with contractors who deliver engineered environmental solutions for contaminated soils, underground storage tanks, and fuel spill sites, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with CERCLA and RCRA compliance frameworks. Her expertise lies in ensuring that remediation efforts are both technically sound and operationally seamless within active military environments.
