With over eighteen years of experience in environmental, health, and safety management, I am a passionate and dedicated Safety Specialist at Wolverine Power Cooperative, a leading provider of reliable and affordable energy in Michigan. As a Certified Loss Control Professional, I work with the safety team and field operations and generation to implement and monitor safety programs, policies, and procedures that comply with federal, state, and local regulations and standards.

In my previous roles as Director of Environmental, Health, and Safety at HOMRICH and Job Safety Representative/ Project Manager at Sorensen Gross, I successfully managed and completed multiple environmental and demolition projects, ensuring compliance, quality, and efficiency.
