What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Energy Auditor and Quality Control Inspector who performs Department of Energy WAP energy assessments and ensures compliance with DOE and state housing standards. I create weatherization work orders using Hancock's HEAT modeling software and verify contractor work and invoices to program rules.

I also perform duct sealing, heat pump installation, spray-foam and dense-pack insulation assessments, solar energy qualifying assessments, and residential thermography.
I have led teams as a Senior Team Lead and Service Manager, proctored BPI field exams, and trained crews in weatherization practices. I seek to apply my technical, inspection, and leadership skills to help organizations improve home energy performance, safety, and regulatory compliance.
