What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an EHS role where I can lead audits and safety programs, ensure regulatory compliance, and partner with stakeholders to reduce risk. I want to drive continuous process improvement through data-informed incident investigation and training.

I’m an experienced EHS professional focused on project management, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation. I optimize processes through safety program development, audits, and incident investigation to improve workplace safety and operational efficiency.

In my current role as an EHS Consultant (Corr Safety – EHS Consultant, 04/2025–Present) for Vertical Access Solutions, I provided EHS oversight for 40+ personnel, ensured compliance with Dominion Power’s policies and permits, and led daily and monthly safety training. I also performed weekly audits per contract, coordinated safe work practices through weekly contractor meetings, and completed required environmental and safety reports.

Earlier, I served as an Environmental Project Manager (06/2010–06/2015) and an Environment, Health, and Safety Manager (03/2006–06/2010), where I verified permits and contracts, audited projects, issued violations with corrective actions, and ran post-project evaluations to capture lessons learned. I developed and implemented safety programs for a new plant, conducted safety analyses and accident investigations, and streamlined permit acquisition by researching local regulations, preparing documentation, and liaising with relevant authorities.
