This role required attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple tasks while supporting the organization’s mission to preserve agricultural land.

As a Fire Watcher at the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, I helped maintain compliance with OSHA regulations by ensuring all fire safety protocols were followed during ongoing construction and renovation projects.
