About
I worked hard for my GPA and as an undergrad worked almost full-time while taking 12-16 credits. I was Phi Theta Kappa then for attaining 3.5 GPA. I am anxious to begin a safety career and will put forth the same effort I do now and did as an undergrad to benefit my employer. I have a very good grasp of Chemistry for MSDS, have worked in confined spaces, have hands-on experience in construction and managerial experience as well with an AAS Construction Management. I am a team player, well-liked, and get along with and respect others. I will represent my employer and profession well.
