Summary
Safety professional with a passion for people and keeping them safe, with an unconventional start to this industry via the medical field for 25 years. This allowed me to develop risk management skills and allowed me to help workers navigate their worker’s compensation claims with ease and proficiency; by understanding the process of injuries and what the usual protocol for treatments are. This allowing injured workers to return to work faster in a more speedy recovery time from injuries with less financial burden.
