What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead safety programs, conduct OSHA/Cal-OSHA-compliant workplace prevention, and grow toward the Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) path—using training, sampling, and clear communication to protect employees.

I’m a Safety Manager with hands-on experience inspecting multi-family, tenant improvement, hospitality, parking garage, office high-rise, higher education, and healthcare job sites to identify hazards and ensure employees follow safety protocols. I investigate bodily injury and property damage accidents, analyze safety trends, and help employees with working-environment issues through training, education, and clear communication.

Before that, as a Junior Industrial Hygienist, I conducted less complex field industrial hygiene and health inspections to determine compliance with occupational health standards under California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 8. I planned and documented industrial hygiene sampling, performed personal air sampling, calibrated and maintained industrial hygiene instruments, and prepared casefiles with inspection findings and enforcement recommendations.

Across my career, I’ve brought strong communication and teaching skills—supported by CPR/First Aid training, speech and public presentation proficiency, and translation of safety documents. I’m especially interested in the Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) field and want to continue advancing workplace health and safety through practical, evidence-based prevention.
