I am a Certified Safety Professional and one of the Environmental and Health Safety Specialist for Texas State in the Risk Management Safety Office.  My main focuses are Occupational Safety and Health and Fire Safety.  I have been with the University for 18 months but come for a long history in safety.  I graduated from Texas A&M in 1976 with a degree in administration.  Since graduating I have worked for the government, petrochemical industry, non profit organizations and as a consultant in the field of safety.  With all this experience in different areas I have a very broad background in safety issues.

I was asked to serve on this committee to represent the Risk Management Safety staff.  It is my belief that safety is a common thread that runs through all aspects of the campus; it affects everyone and has no boundaries.  I feel that serving on this committee will allow me understand the diverse population to be better able to address safety issues that will not interfere with their beliefs and culture.

I have been an employee for thirteen years.  I am currently a head electrician in Facilities Operations.  I love working with electricity and love my job. Initially I was a replacement for another employee. Soon after, I discovered what diversity is and how important the awareness of diversity is to this establishment and to the community. I hope to spread the awareness of diversity throughout the FSS division.

I am a senior here at Texas State completing a degree in Geography, emphasis in Urban and Regional Planning. Currently, I am a student worker at the Environmental Health, Safety & Risk Management Office. Being part of the Student community, this is a great opportunity to be a member of this committee and express my views as a student.  Diversity is an important aspect in creating equality within different divisions of this University, and I could not be happier to be part of this committee.

I have been an employee of Texas State since 1993. I believe that all peoples, tribes, nations, religions, and tongues are related and should be united. We have no choice but to contribute and educate regarding the changes we want to see. Our endeavors should go beyond this committee and we should live diversity with each day and with every opportunity.
