What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop safety initiatives and foster a culture of compliance and safety within a dynamic organization.

I am a dedicated Environmental Health and Safety Manager with a strong background in implementing safety policies and ensuring compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations. Currently, I manage safety operations for Amazon, overseeing multiple sites and leading initiatives that have significantly reduced incidents and improved safety metrics.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to conduct thorough risk assessments, mentor new safety managers, and lead regional safety meetings. My efforts have resulted in a 60% reduction in robotics-related incidents and a 10% improvement in year-over-year work-related incidents. I am passionate about creating a safe work environment and continuously strive to enhance safety practices across all operational levels.
