Professional Profile
*********@*****.***
A proven professional in facilities management, safety, preparedness, and response through years of service in the public and private sector. As a Director of EHS at a newly constructed college and my elected and appointed service in government offered exposure to disaster planning and learned responses.
Years of employment in the petroleum industry, government service, and large facility management offered a unique familiarity to emergency preparedness, challenges and responses. The most valuable lessons learned were offered in the form of preparedness planning, and well presented community communications to assure confidence in the ongoing efforts. This is paramount in fostering faith and trust in the system.
Governmental and community involvement provided insight to the most efficient manner to develop communications between entities, government, and affected individuals. These skill were honed through direct participation in three local floods from tributaries, two river floods, and the after effects of Hurricane Katrina and Rita in the form of evacuates, rainfall, and residual winds and flooding.
