I am a seasoned safety professional with over 24 years of regulatory and compliance experience in the public and private sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for partnering with diverse cross-disciplinary teams, as well as for managing complex safety projects, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to organizational growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded performance goals, and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. My professional focal points include: leadership, team collaboration, root cause analysis, safety engineering, continuous improvements, emergency management, project management, and lean manufacturing. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, as well as operational acumen, project development, and engineering management expertise to support efficiency and maximum returns.
