Who is Mary Benzinger?

Mary provides data validation, data verification, laboratory coordination, quality assurance support, and data management support for multiple environmental projects. She conducts data validation consistent with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for typical organic and inorganic data. Her strengths include a solid understanding of the impacts of laboratory and field practices on environmental data quality and careful assessment of environmental data in accordance with validation and project requirements.

Mary’s environmental laboratory background includes the receipt, processing, and analysis of groundwater and soil samples for environmental contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, and volatile organic compounds. Her experience with laboratory data includes the generation, review, and transfer of data within laboratory information management systems, as well as generation of final laboratory reports. Mary has worked in a quality assurance capacity in which she reviewed environmental analytical results, assisted with in-house audits, and prepared laboratory-level data packages.

Outside the office, Mary enjoys beekeeping, gardening, learning the various arts and crafts of old house repair, playing the accordion, and spending time with her family—as well as delighting in the tiny goldfinches that have discovered the birdbath in her yard.
