Summary

Highly-motivated individual with desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills. As a professional Paramedic/ Firefighter I am no stranger to safety. I have spent most of my career responding to incidents after they've already happened. I wish to take my experience and focus it in an area of expertise that is pre-emptive to such incidents and even prevent them from ever occurring. I am seeking opportunities in Construction Safety/ Compliance occupations.
