Safe to assume you enjoy all the travel?


....answer coming up


I do enjoy. I have to admit sometimes it adds up to stress, but it gives me the opportunity to learn and taste about new places!!!!!

....well...I am a chemical engineer (that is what my college degree hanging on the wall says), and we have several ‘things that I do’....







(Per confidentiality agreements, I can not show plant details....)


Four different venues keep me busy:

-Manufacturing and installing waste water treatment systems in Latin America (including Caribbean...I had cut island travel, it was a LOT of work!)

-Installing heavy equipment, moving and re-locating full manufacturing facilities with staff and equipment in three countries in North America

-Consultant in environmental engineering and Latin America business development

-My ‘wristwatch baby’, putting together GTGs and....exciting news to come!!!!!!!!

Between all companies (some 4/5 years old, some 50+ years old)....I do keep quite busy!

If you ask me, my dream (trust me) is to boost my watch baby and devoting full time just to that! What a life would that be!!!!!
