  • Company Overview: As a Task Force Leader in a high-stakes disaster zone, I directly led and managed five field crews, ensuring the safe and efficient execution of critical post-wildfire debris removal and hazard mitigation across over 100 residential properties. My role demanded unwavering safety leadership, where I consistently enforced rigorous protocols, and cultivated a safety-first culture amidst challenging and dynamic conditions. I demonstrated exceptional problem-solving skills on the ground, navigating complex operational hurdles, while maintaining project momentum. Furthermore, I collaborated seamlessly, hand in hand, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and ECC, acting as a crucial on-site liaison to achieve project milestones, and ensure synchronized recovery efforts. My comprehensive safety expertise is fortified by EM 385, OSHA 30 Construction, and 40-hour HAZWOPER certifications.
