Summary

I am a passionate Environmental Health & Safety professional dedicated to cultivating a culture where safety becomes an ingrained value. I focus on mitigating hazardous exposures to ensure secure work environments while protecting a company’s financial and reputational integrity by reducing risks, incident rates, and associated costs. I believe true safety transcends policies; it requires a shift in perception through trust, strong interpersonal relationships, and employee engagement. By prioritizing hazard mitigation and empowerment, I foster a workplace where individuals feel safe, valued, and productive. Although early in my career, I am committed to lasting impact and will pursue a graduate degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology to integrate innovative, people-centered strategies that redefine workplace safety and drive success. Actively seeking an employer that embraces a holistic approach to elevate EHS programs and enhance their overall organizational performance.
