With nearly 32 years of dedicated service at the MTA, I have built a career defined by steady growth, purpose, and impact—rising from an entry-level analyst to a Safety Executive through hard work, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Grounded in a strong IT background, I have consistently leveraged data, technology, and analytics to identify risk trends, strengthen operational decision-making, and drive meaningful reductions in both employee and customer accidents. Throughout my career, I have translated complex data into practical, actionable safety strategies that improve outcomes while fostering collaboration across departments, labor partners, and leadership teams. My approach combines analytical rigor with a people-first mindset—ensuring that safety solutions are not only effective, but understood, embraced, and sustained by the workforce. Known for being approachable, down-to-earth, and mission-driven, I lead with integrity and empathy. My values are rooted in faith, family, church, and community, which shape my leadership style and commitment to service. I am deeply passionate about mentoring and encouraging young professionals, helping them recognize their potential, grow their skills, and build meaningful careers. Above all, my work reflects a belief that data saves lives—and that strong relationships, shared purpose, and community make lasting progress possible.
