Highly experienced safety professional with a focus on effective programs.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly experienced safety professional with a proven track record in developing and implementing effective safety programs. My strong foundation in OSHA regulations and risk management allows me to excel at creating a safe work environment. I have a demonstrated ability to lead safety teams, conduct thorough incident investigations, and build strong relationships with employees at all levels.
In my current role as a Safety and Occupational Health Manager with the United States Army, I manage and evaluate the effectiveness of the Command Occupational and Patient Safety Program. I conduct in-depth analyses and recommend countermeasures to control or eliminate unsafe conditions. Previously, as a Safety Advisor at FedEx Express, I spearheaded a reduction in accident rates by 24% and injury rates by 9% through targeted safety initiatives and employee engagement.
My career has been marked by significant achievements, including the successful implementation of an Occupational Health & Safety Management System based on ISO 45001 standards, leading to the City of San Antonio being awarded the first Municipal entity in the USA and the world to achieve ISO 45001:2018 certification. I am committed to fostering a culture of safety and continuous improvement in every organization I serve.
