Casey is a senior air quality engineer with a passion for data. She has been working in the air compliance domain since the beginning of her career and has worked with the natural gas, refining, chemicals, paper processing, plastic manufacturing, and seafood processing industries. Casey has also worked on Title V, prevention of significant deterioration, and construction permits, as well as emission inventories and Benzene Waste Operations National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (BWON) projects. 

Before joining Air Sciences, Casey worked at a large seafood company, where she created various data analytic tools to gain deep insights about compliance using surveys, audits, test samples, and personal relationships. In doing so, she identified and prioritized the company’s largest compliance risks, communicated to C-level executives, and decreased compliance risk by more than 50 percent at some facilities and by almost 15 percent companywide.

Other career highlights include teaching BWON and engine emission classes, sampling wastewater on remote Alaska islands, and partnering with the state of Illinois to write a Title V permit for a large solvent extraction plant.

Casey is a Registered Environmental Professional and certified in Mental Health First Aid. She has a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and a Full-Stack Bootcamp certificate from the University of Washington.

Outside of work, Casey has biked across the country and hosts an annual triathlon with her friends. Her hobbies include backpacking, open-water swimming, ceramics, reading, dancing, volunteering, baking, and bike packing.
