Ms. Moshman has over seven years of progressive work experience as a chemical process engineer in chemical process design, equipment design, process safety, operator training, and plant engineering. She also has over twelve years experience as an environmental engineer working in all phases of environmental assessment, remediation, pollution control, and cleanup.

She has worked for CPC International, a large corn processing company, where she designed chemical process systems. Exemplar projects included increasing production in the feed pelletizer line, bringing two reactors on line to rejuvenate powdered carbon as a cost saving measure, and designing a truck loading station for bulk transport of corn syrup.

Also, Ms. Moshman has worked in the specialty chemicals industry for Morton Thiokol, Inc. Ultra high purity epoxy resin was generated in small batches for sale to the computer chip industry. Concerns regarding hazardous waste generation, hazardous material handling, pollution control, process hazard analyses, and quality control dominated this industry.
