About Tamar

I have been at SETAC since 2016. I enjoy forging collaboration that advance environmental science and promote science-informed decision making. I am passionate about sustainability and environmental justice. Before working for SETAC, I spent 18 years as an environmental consultant focused on ecological and human health risk assessment and sustainability. I have a Master of Science in Public Health in Environmental Quality and Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. I also hold certifications in sustainability leadership and nonprofit managment.
