Environmental Education/Expert Profile
Expertise
I am a professional environmental educator at Auburn University. My specialty is indoor air quality, including radon awareness and mitigation of all structures. I am well versed in issues involving mold and mildew in homes and other structures, as well as volatile organic compounds (odors) in homes. I teach the general public about asthma triggers such as dust, dust mites and other particulate matter, as well as pollen and the interaction of genetic inheritance with this malady.
Past/Present Clients
All Alabama citizens interested in Environmental Education, including Indoor Air Quality, Radon Education and how to fix associated problems. All of these programs are fully federally grant funded; therefore, this is a no-cost service to citizens.
