With 20 years of experience across the environmental field, Leah brings real-world knowledge to the workplace that enhances her ability to prepare accurate compliance documents, permit applications, and environmental assessments. This diverse skill set allows her to help our clients in various areas of environmental compliance, such as sustainability, Phase I and II site assessments, and on-site compliance support. Leah’s experience includes regulatory compliance support (remote and on-site); environmental compliance auditing; due diligence for mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures; air pollution compliance; site characterization for remediation projects; regulatory experience in Queensland, Australia, for the oil-and-gas industry; data analysis and reporting; and fieldwork.
Throughout her career, Leah has prepared permit applications; submitted air, soil, and groundwater sampling reports; installed monitoring wells; managed air-pollution compliance programs; and prepared environmental permits for natural-gas development in Australia. She has also developed compliance documents—such as permit and permit modification applications, annual monitoring reports, plans of operation, disturbance protocols, and environmental management plans—for several natural-gas companies throughout Australia. Additionally, Leah is a Certified Professional Environmental Auditor (CPEA) and has performed varied industry environmental compliance audits throughout the United States.
What do you find most rewarding about the work that you do?
Teamwork—I love working with my teams on various projects. Everyone in EHS Support’s Business Services Group is a team player and goes the extra mile to support each other.
What are you currently working on?
I am currently supporting several mergers-and-acquisition and due diligence projects, as well as finalizing an environmental audit. The industries involved vary widely and include a lighting manufacturer, wood treatment facilities, a steel products manufacturer, and a movie theater chain.
In addition, as a Quality Manager for BSG, I am working on several report template improvement projects, ongoing team training development, and various other quality initiatives.
How can our clients benefit from this service/particular innovation?
BSG takes a proactive, solution-driven approach to identifying our clients’ needs. Whether we discover unpermitted equipment or activities during a due diligence site visit, find ways to enhance a health and safety program during an audit, or help facilities manage hazardous waste more effectively, our services help prevent our clients from facing regulatory enforcement actions and improve the health and safety of their employees.
What is a little-known fact about you?
Always say “yes” if you can. Try everything. You never know what interesting corner of the environmental world will pique your interest if you don’t try it. It’s also useful to be knowledgeable in many areas, so when you’re working with a client, you can understand their business better and be able to suggest improvements or other ways EHS Support can help them achieve their goals.
