My career started in the trades with training and certifications in HVAC, appliance servicing, plumbing, electrical, and some electronics. I worked in the trades for 20 years specializing in HVAC and controls.

Transitioning into facilities management, I completed the BOMI Facilities Management Administrator course. The BOMI FMA course covered the design and construction of building systems as well as financial and organizational skills.

Safety is important to everyone and I take time to educate people about safety. Most people do not see the benefits of working safely. I am a regional safety champion, volunteer firefighter, and EMT.

Emergency preparedness is a natural skill that I really enjoy. Being in facilities management, I work with all departments and groups in the company. Business Continuity allows me to learn how each group works and look for vulnerabilities. Then we can prepare for emergencies by mitigating the risks possible and developing preparedness plans for the risks that we cannot avoid.

I have a unique skill set and I am passionate about facilities management. This is an exciting field with the developing technology and automation.
