"My father has worked as an Occupational Health and Safety Specialist for the past 15 years, and he loves what he does. I grew up hearing about his job and shadowed him on a few occasions to see if I would also love this type of work. I discovered that I really enjoy working with employers to keep their employees and the public safe. I worked as an EMT for two years before switching careers, and I saw how debilitating workplace injuries could be. I want to help prevent people from having to go through the experience of being injured at work."
