Summary

My previous professional experiences include industrial rescue, heavy rescue, manufacturing safety, quality management, and operational excellence. Ensuring the daily and continuous safety of those around me continues to be my number one priority. With experience as a first responder and as a lead risk coordinator, I have seen both sides of what it takes to truly create and maintain a culture of safety and quality. Quality and safety go hand in hand. Safety first, quality always.
