Casey graduated from Duke in May 2019. After graduation, she accepted an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) postdoctoral fellowship in Washington, D.C., with the U.S. EPA in the Office of Water (OW). Casey’s fellowship research focused on adverse health effects that result from exposures of chemical contaminants through drinking water. In the summer of 2020, Casey accepted a full-time Biologist position with OW in the Human Health Risk Assessment Branch of the Office of Science & Technology. Currently, her projects revolve around EPA’s drinking water regulations and water quality standards/criteria; Casey evaluated data from toxicity studies and health assessments to help inform risk assessment and regulatory activities related to drinking and recreational waters of the U.S.
