Summary

At a young age I was quickly introduced to big responsibilities, in my personal life and in work settings. I have 8+ years in supervision positions. I am a self starter when it comes to my work. I have the ability to learn things quickly and efficiently. Working in customer service at a young age helped me greatly with my growth in communication skills and becoming a great problem solver, which has lead me to excel in my current safety coordinator position at Gleeson Constructors & Engineers. It holds a lot of responsibility; supervising employees out in the field, doing safety training, organizing employee safety files as well as updating files. I put together progress reports for superintendent meetings. Keeping ProCore reports up to date and much more. With all the job duties and responsibilities this position has come with I've learned organization skills are key.
