Heather Garvie
Heather Garvie started her EPA career back in 2004 in the Antimicrobials Division (AD) where she was a chemical review manager working primarily on product reregistration. Some of her more memorable chemicals in AD included triclosan, silver and the fumigant wood preservatives. She then moved to the Fungicide Branch of the Registration Division in 2010 where she was a chemical review manager and then both a Product Manager in the Fungicide-Herbicide Branch and a Senior Regulatory Advisor in the Fungicide Branch until she departed in the spring of 2021 to return to AD as the Senior Regulatory Advisor in RMB2 under the leadership of Jacquie Hardy. Heather works closely with the Product Managers in her Branch and the other regulatory Branch; assists with training new employees; manages a new active ingredient and special projects; co-chairs the Label Consistency Committee; and participates in several workgroups and committees.
Heather holds a Bachelor of Science from Drexel University and a Master of Arts from George Washington University. In her free time Heather likes to spend time with her twins who are going off to college this year; work in her garden; hike; travel; and collect various pets.
