Summary

With extensive knowledge and hands-on experience, I bring valuable expertise to the table. Learning from my father, who has over 40 years of experience in the electric and gas industry and is currently working with Atmos Energy, I have gained deep industry knowledge and insights into best practices and standards. This inherited knowledge, combined with three years of direct experience with the company, has instilled in me a strong commitment to maintaining a safe working environment. I prioritize hazard identification both on and off the job, consistently adhering to safety regulations and protocols.
