As a Safety, Emergency Management, and Risk Consultant, I help organizations build safer, more resilient operations through comprehensive risk assessments, safety plans, emergency preparedness, and compliance auditing. I specialize in developing practical solutions that protect people, assets, and business continuity while ensuring full regulatory compliance with OSHA, Cal/OSHA, EPA, and other applicable regulations. I hold certifications as a Certified Occupational Safety Manager (COSM), CEAS 1, and OSHA 30, and I am a certified trainer in Forklift, Fall Protection Authorized Person Comprehensive, and Fall Protection Equipment Inspection. I have extensive hands-on experience in safety program management, employee training, operational implementation, incident investigation, and emergency preparedness, enabling me to translate complex safety and regulatory requirements into actionable programs that deliver measurable results. My background in geotechnical engineering testing and biology, combined with leadership experience as a professional athlete, provides a unique perspective on problem-solving, team collaboration, and performance under pressure. I partner with clients across industries—including utilities, construction, manufacturing, and laboratory environments—to assess risk, develop tailored safety programs, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance emergency readiness, empowering teams to operate safely, efficiently, and confidently.

My career in workplace safety is built from a simple belief: safety should make sense to the people doing the work. After years working hands-on in manufacturing environments, I saw how often safety programs looked good on paper but failed on the floor. So I began consulting to help small businesses build systems that are clear, practical, and actually used. I provide HSE consulting and workplace safety support for small manufacturing and automotive companies, including: Safety policy and procedure development OSHA-aligned program creation and documentation Workplace safety audits and gap assessments Job hazard analyses (JHAs) ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 Internal Audit / Compliance Guidance Training program development and custom training content SDS program organization and hazard communication support Incident review and corrective action planning Safety culture improvement strategy My focus isn’t just compliance — it’s clarity. I help owners and managers turn overwhelming regulatory requirements into organized, streamlined systems their teams can confidently follow. As my service offerings grow, I’m also integrating human-centered design principles into my work, with the long-term vision of building more intuitive, user-friendly workplace systems. Because safety shouldn’t live in a binder. It should live in how your business operates every day.
