Summary
Environmental, Health and Safety professional with 2 years experience working in two differing manufacturing facilities in Ireland. These were both challenging roles which I am grateful for as they allowed me to advance my skills quickly such as resilience, adaptability, presenting, collaboration, creativity, time management, problem-solving and multi-tasking.
The ongoing support I received allowed me to upskill in many areas. And finally the exposure I had to a variety of different work professions, manufacturing processes and risk and incident investigations encompassed me with a wealth of experience and knowledge to support the rest of my career.
