Summary
I have been an Industrial Chemist since 1986 and have done all aspects of the job ranging from Plater, Chemist, Safety Manager and Waste Management. I have never had a safety violation in my 37 years of experience nor have I ever missed a day of work. I am extremely responsible and always look for the best way to improve any situation or problem that has been brought to me. My biggest strengths would be my ability to multi-task, problem solve and my commitment to the job!
I am the first person in the state of California to have an Exemption from Permit by Rule according to Norman Riley who was Head of the Department of Toxic Substance Control. Permit by Rule is under the recycle clause that states a significant percentage of your waste has to be recycled on site and that is what the Exemption is for.
