Health Educator
CurrentI work closely with the Injury Prevention Coordinator to facilitate programs to prevent childhood injuries. I utilize my Child Passenger Safety Technician Instructor certification to supervise 7 Car Seat Inspection Sites in Northern New Jersey; 6 of which I opened. I continually train the Technicians on the ever- evolving CPS world. I work to create a TEAM atmosphere for all CPST and encourage Technicians throughout New Jersey to recertify with us. I write continuing education credit programs to assist the technicians in keeping current with their CPS skills. I enjoy educating children, in the elementary school setting, on the importance of using a booster seat. I have expanded the school interest from one county to three. By utilizing my public speaking skills, I facilitate New Jersey Teen Driving Program, Share the Keys, in the High Schools settings. While partnering with State Farm, I present the Car Care program to college students to remind them that caring for their vehicles is an important step to getting to their destination safely. I have taken steps to provide Seniors with the Carfit program and am authorized by AAA, AARP and AOTA, as a Carfit Coordinator. I compile paperwork and submit reports to Safe Kids Worldwide, where I have reached 100% accuracy. I work to create partnerships with local stores, schools, and businesses to encourage their involvement in the prevention of childhood injuries.
