   As a Senior Staff Safety Specialist in the nuclear industry, I bring extensive expertise in developing, implementing, and leading industrial safety programs that protect people, equipment, and operations in one of the most highly regulated environments in the world. My role focuses on ensuring compliance with OSHA, NRC, INPO, and site-specific safety requirements while fostering a proactive safety culture that prioritizes hazard recognition, risk reduction, and continuous improvement.I partner with cross-functional teams—including operations, maintenance, radiation protection, and engineering—to identify and mitigate industrial safety hazards in high-risk environments such as confined spaces, elevated work platforms, heavy equipment operations, and complex outage activities. By leveraging incident investigations, human performance tools, and root cause analysis, I drive actionable corrective measures that strengthen organizational resilience and reduce injury potential.Key contributions include: • Leading industrial safety strategy and program development for nuclear operations. • Driving safe work practices through procedure enhancements, training, and field mentoring. • Conducting risk assessments, job hazard analyses, and safety reviews for critical evolutions. • Supporting outage and capital project execution with a focus on hazard elimination and control. • Championing employee engagement, safety culture initiatives, and human performance improvement.I am committed to advancing safety performance in nuclear generation by integrating regulatory excellence, operational discipline, and a people-first approach that ensures every worker goes home safe—every day.
