Objective
I have prepared for a position within the Occupational Health and
Safety/Industrial Hygiene arena by completing my Master of Public Health
degree, the foundation on which I hope to build an exciting and challenging
career. My current position as the program lead in the regulation of
decentralized sewage system installations has allowed me to develop
excellent customer service skills, complex decision making abilities, and
planning expertise to complete my tasks in a timely and professional
manner. Additionally, I have positively influenced my peers and contractors
alike by according the utmost professionalism during both routine
inspections and installations that do not meet regulation. The strengths I
have fostered in my career include energy and loyalty for my employer and
my peers, as well as comfort and competence executing my work
responsibilities individually or as part of a team. I am also willing to
travel and relocate.
