Summary

I have been interested in health and safety for many years.. I took on the role of sanitation management in my career. I was responsible for training and implementing health and safety requirements. I became a safety board member and my current and previous position. I have worked independently in this role as we had high turnover in leadership. This allowed me to implement changes and ideas while still following corporate standards set out by head quarters. I was in constant communication with our team concerning preventative measures, incident reports and current guidance from multiple agencies and news outlets. I then was hired as the project coordinator for the Grundy county health department. It would be an amazing achievement if I could combine my interest in EHS and work for
