Safety and standards professional seeking a content moderation role with data reporting and objective auditing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented standards and safety compliance professional with 20+ years enforcing complex policies, managing risk, and maintaining high standards in demanding environments. My focus is turning technical requirements into clear, actionable outcomes—backed by objective reporting and internal auditing.
From 2021–2025 at Taligenix, I managed comprehensive safety systems and ensured 100% compliance with industry regulations through rigorous internal audits and inspections. I developed and maintained reporting systems to track compliance metrics and safety performance, and I interpreted complex policy documents to guide technical teams.
Previously, as Supervisor / Safety Officer / Technician (2016–2021) at Sperosense, I coordinated emergency responses and safety drills while overseeing field operations and adherence to SOPs. Earlier roles in mining maintenance and electrical splicing required precision under strict timelines, and my Wildfire Firefighter experience reinforced calm, reliable decision-making under pressure.
