Ms. Gauthier is a board-certified industrial hygienist who specializes in evaluating human health exposure and risk from products throughout their life cycle, from raw materials sourcing through end-of-life. She is a recognized and accredited expert in product stewardship and has experience measuring, modeling, and evaluating the health effects of chemical hazards in the workplace, in the environment, and from consumer products. She provides scientific consultation on exposure to and potential human health effects of various chemicals such as asbestos, phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), metals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and acrylamide as well as biological hazards such as mold, Legionella, and E. coli. In addition, she regularly manages complex and multidimensional projects related to consumer product testing and risk evaluation. Ms. Gauthier is a leading expert in developing studies and analyzing dermal sensitizers based on extensive experience with wearable electronic devices. Throughout her nine years of consulting experience, she has routinely interfaced with stakeholders at all stages of the supply chain and has applied her knowledge and expertise in green chemistry and product stewardship to compliance and proactive chemical exposure and risk evaluations for products and product components.

Ms. Gauthier regularly synthesizes complex regulatory and scientific information related to large consumer product lines in support of regulatory compliance and development of product stewardship programs. In particular, she coordinates with stakeholders throughout the consumer product supply chain to develop wearable electronic device products that minimize risk of dermal sensitization and maximize biocompatibility. She also supports clients in prioritizing and evaluating products through the application of consumer-specific exposure models such as ConsExpo, Crystal Ball, ECETOC Targeted Risk Assessment and has developed ad hoc models for evaluating consumer exposure and prioritizing product risk. With respect to industrial hygiene, Ms. Gauthier specializes in the design and implementation of qualitative exposure assessments and has experience identifying and prioritizing high risk groups in aerospace and automotive manufacturing settings. She is also experienced in quantitative industrial hygiene evaluations of residential and industrial mold and moisture, vehicle HVAC system odor investigations, as well as the design and implementation of vapor intrusion, indoor air quality, and hospital disinfection system sampling. Ms. Gauthier earned an M.S.P.H. in occupational and environmental hygiene from the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. She received her B.S. from the University of California, Berkeley, in molecular environmental biology in 2010 and has also completed U.C. Berkeley Extension's Green Chemistry Certificate Program and Johns Hopkins's Risk Sciences and Public Policy Certificate Program.
