Summary
I am a hard worker who has experience in a few different fields of work. My main focus is safety, health, and environmental work. I love working with others in learning which way we can get the task done in a timely but safe manner specific to the task at hand. I am efficient completing paperwork on time and on task. I have used Microsoft Office for more than ten years and I am extremely proficient while doing so. I attended Nicholls State University which is an accredited university, meaning my safety and petroleum classes count as trainings, which will qualify me for a GSP and CSP. I have experience leading a crew and am more than capable of tapping into workers full potential and getting them to understand the importance of safety. I train workers, test environmental conditions, and enforce/report safety issues on a daily basis.
