Creating and maintaining safe studio practices for students and faculty is a fundamental part of my job as Senior Studio Technician. When students initially learn to practice their art or fine craft in a safe and healthy work environment they continue these habits in their own future studio practices. Learning to do things safely can have a lasting impact on personal health and the environment.

As the primary point of contact for many students and visitors at the Haliburton Campus, it is important for me to be aware of the health & safety issues that we encounter or may encounter on campus, including the policies and procedures in place. I value being able to have and provide a safe working and learning environment for all, and am happy to be apart of a cohesive team that maintains that environment.

My experience in facility maintenance and operations allows me to contribute a practical, solutions-focused perspective to the Joint Health and Safety Committee when addressing concerns brought forward by the campus community. Safety is always at the forefront of the work my team performs every day while supporting operations across the College. I am committed to promoting safe practices, identifying potential risks, and ensuring that both my team and the broader community are supported in maintaining a healthy and safe workplace.
