Environmental Health, Climate & Sustainability Alumni Profile

Phillip Tilson

Originally from Cincinnati but have been living in New Orleans for the last 11 years and have no plans of leaving.  Prior to enrolling at LSUHSC School of Public Health I had a bachelors degree in environmental science from the University of Arizona.  Graduated from the LSUHSC School of Public with an MPH and an emphasis in environmental and occupational health in 2015.  After graduating from LSUHSC I have worked as an environmental/safety consultant for the Louisiana Cancer Research Center and the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans.  Currently working for Lockheed Martin in the Gulf Region as a senior Environmental/Safety Engineer.  Fun fact about me, ever since I have moved to New Orleans I have developed a deep love for Mardi Gras and have ridden in at least six different krewes, three of which were super krewes; currently riding in the Krewe of Bacchus.
