With over 24 years of dedicated service at the largest steel mill on the West Coast, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table. My career has been marked by 16 years of leadership within the Emergency Response Department, where I honed my skills in crisis management, safety protocols, and team coordination. In the last 7 years, I transitioned to the Environmental Department, taking on the critical role of Environmental Technician and promoting to an Environmental /EHS Engineer. Here, I oversee the comprehensive management of hazardous materials and waste, ensuring strict adherence to storage regulations and safe disposal practices.I am responsible for conducting rigorous site inspections to maintain compliance with hazardous waste storage standards, leading essential environmental training programs, and coordinating complex projects such as tank inspections and specialized cleanouts. My role also includes managing Best Management Practices (BMP) to ensure stormwater discharge compliance, safeguarding the environment and the community. Additionally, I facilitate a dedicated team across multiple mills, driving monthly discussions on key environmental topics and fostering a culture of continuous improvement and environmental stewardship.
