THE OWNER.....
Carolyn Matthews - Field Scientist, Founder
After receiving her Bachelor of Environmental Science degree Carolyn began her environmental career as a seasonal employee with the USFS. After that she moved indoors as a environmental and bacteriological lab analyst. Her years of lab experience are a great asset to our QA/QC program; it has given her a keen sense of how easily and frequently cross contamination can occur and sample integrity can be compromised in the field. She conducts on going training and field auditing of staff to ensure they have the tools and knowledge for maintaining sample and equipment integrity, in order to obtain the most accurate data.
Carolyn returned outdoors to gain more than ten years of experience conducting field work for industry and environmental consultants & laboratories. She has worked on over 100 different contaminated sites across several states. She has performed sampling for the monitoring of at least 50 NPDES permits. Carolyn also regularly attends remediation conferences.
