What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my zoning and environmental expertise while contributing to community development and sustainability.

I am a dedicated zoning inspector with a strong background in ensuring compliance with city regulations and ordinances. My experience includes conducting inspections of residential, commercial, and industrial properties, as well as preparing citations and reports that outline necessary corrective actions. I have a proven track record of collaborating with various stakeholders, including planning departments, engineers, and property owners, to address zoning issues effectively.

In addition to my role as a zoning inspector, I have diverse experience in environmental science and construction. My previous positions as a field scientist and construction worker have equipped me with a unique skill set that includes surveying land, overseeing abatement processes, and managing construction projects. I am committed to maintaining high standards of safety and compliance in all my work, and I continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in the field.
