Headshot 1200 1500 Title: 

Executive Director EHS

Institution: 

Nova Southeastern University

Current leadership role in CSHEMA: 

2022-2023 President

How long have you worked in EHS?

25+ years, but who is counting!!

How did you get into EHS?

My first job out of college was with OSHA! I was an Industrial Hygienist. After leaving OSHA, I did IH work at a military installation before falling in love with Higher Education working at Princeton University EHS.

How long have you worked at your current institution?

A little over 6 years.

Best career advice?

Don’t be afraid to fail. I did not like this advice! In truth, as I forced myself to imagine an outcome resulting failure, I quickly realized I would be able to cope and it has pushed me outside my comfort zone to go for it!

Thank you to all who attended the Vital Statistics II Webinar

This webinar helped to summarize the findings derived from the previous efforts and will describe the upcoming “Vital Statistics II Initiative” which will soon be launched in cooperation with CSHEMA to further refine the ability to predict industry average program staffing and resourcing.

November 12, 2020

The CSHEMA Research & Survey CoP’s Vital Statistics II Survey, earlier impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, is now launched! 

Your participation in this initiative will provide CSHEMA member institutions the ability to objectively benchmark program staffing and budget, especially in the current operating environment.
