About The Eco Chic
About Me:
I am a thirty-something wife and mother of two beautiful babies. Big B, our independent, Earth loving, boy is 6 yrs old and complains if you don’t recycle. Little B is our newest member dressed in pink and was born Jan. 4, 2009. Little B loves breastmilk, being worn (carried in one of our many slings), and wearing her hip cloth diapers and leg warmers. Daddy is your typical sports fanatic who thinks his wife is crazy! But he supports me in everything that I do and for that I love him. Me, well I obviously care about the environment and want to conserve our natural resources for future generations. As a mother I want to lead by example in the hopes that my child will grow up with the knowledge and passion to make a difference.
My passion growning up was the arts and the ocean. After my initial pursuit in graphic design I decided to switch my career path to Biology. I have a degree in Biology with a focus on aquatic ecosystems. My professional life has opened the environmental world for me and I am now working for a company as a contractor for a government agency. My job function is to implement and manage their environmental program and continually look for ways to improve and reduce their environmental footprint that they leave on this nation. I have job experience in Hazardous Materials, Waste Prevention and Recycling, Green Purchasing, Energy Managment, Water Management, Electronics Stewardship, Alternative Fuels, Environmental Management, Regulatory Compliance, Facilities Auditing, Training, and Outreach & Education. Pretty much an eco-junkie!
The one thing I’ve learn through my life and career is that you have to make things easy. I hope that I will be able to offer you common sense ideas that you can use to make a difference in your everyday lives. I hope you enjoy my journey into reducing my families environmental footprint.
