I am a detail-oriented public health professional with thirteen years of experience in environmental health and food safety. I focus on ensuring regulatory compliance and improving public health outcomes through practical, data-driven work.

In my current role as a food safety inspection officer, I inspect retail food establishments and temporary events, investigate complaints, and ensure alignment with local, state, and federal requirements. I developed comprehensive guidance documents and authored Standard Operating Procedures to support new businesses and streamline inspection processes.

I regularly analyze daily inspection reports and field observations to identify trends and generate actionable insights that inform decision-making and improve operations. I also hold certifications and training in lead risk assessment, healthy homes practices, and the Incident Command System, and I have experience as a public health emergency responder.

I am seeking to apply my compliance, analysis, and operational experience to project management and planning roles where I can lead collaborative efforts to protect community health.
