Jocelyn Agee
Proven Experience
Jocelyn Agee is an emerging professional dedicated to bridging the critical disciplines of Environmental Restoration and Emergency Management. With a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sustainability and Geographic Studies and an accompanying Certificate in Emergency Management and Disaster Sciences, Jocelyn has applied her academic foundation in high-stakes environments at federal laboratories and field offices. Her hands-on experience at the Department of Energy (DOE) Carlsbad Field Office and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) highlights her ability to conduct detailed research, contribute to high-reliability safety protocols, and execute complex environmental monitoring projects. She is proficient in ArcGIS for mapping and spatial analysis and is detail-oriented in research and safety checks.
Jocelyn Agee’s experience demonstrates a mastery of complex procedures and collaborative work essential for critical infrastructure and environmental science. Her professional and academic experience includes:
- Emergency Response Benchmarking: Partnered with emergency management mentors on a benchmarking project across multiple DOE sites, analyzing outdoor warning systems.
- High-Risk Operations Participation: Observed and participated in large-scale emergency exercises, including the Mine Rescue Competition and pre-exercise drills in WIPP’s Central Monitoring Room.
- Field and Underground Safety: Trained in underground safety inspections and pre-job briefings; collected and documented environmental samples, including brine, soil, vegetation, and aerosol filters.
- Advanced Laboratory Techniques: Applied complex biological and chemical methods such as gravimetric analysis of high-volume aerosol filters, microbial culture preparation, and DNA extraction.
- Bioinformatics and Data Analysis: Utilized bioinformatics tools (BLAST) for sequence identification and compiled research data, maintaining databases and producing timely reports across multiple internships.
