Track 320 air-permit conditions across a Title V permit and 2 minor-source permits for a 1,100-employee chlor-alkali and specialty-chemicals site; built a compliance calendar in Enablon that cut missed internal deadlines from 14 to 0 in one year. Prepare semiannual Title V deviation reports and annual emissions inventories for LDEQ; reconciled 18 months of flare and vent data and found a 9% overstatement in reported VOC emissions. Review weekly LDAR monitoring data for 42,000 components; flagged repeat leakers and coordinated repair-tracking with maintenance, lifting on-time repair rate from 91% to 99%. Collect monthly LPDES stormwater and process-water samples at 6 outfalls, manage chain of custody with the contract lab, and draft DMR submittals in NetDMR. Manage RCRA large-quantity-generator paperwork: 260 hazardous-waste manifests a year, satellite accumulation inspections, and annual biennial-report data; passed an unannounced EPA Region 6 inspection with no findings. Built a Power BI dashboard of permit limits, sampling results, and open actions that is now reviewed in the plant manager's weekly meeting. Trained 85 operators on spill reporting, SPCC secondary-containment checks, and waste labeling.

Updated the facility's SPCC plan by inspecting 74 aboveground storage tanks and calculating secondary-containment capacity for 19 diked areas. Digitized 6 years of benzene NESHAP waste-stream records into a searchable Access database, saving the team about 10 hours a month. Helped field staff run Method 21 LDAR surveys and calibrate TVA-2020 analyzers.

Ran sampling trips on the Amite River to measure nutrient loads; processed 400+ water samples for nitrate, phosphate, and TSS. Co-authored a poster on post-flood sediment contamination presented at the 2023 Louisiana Water Conference.
