I worked shift-work in Ohio as a Chemical Process Operator for one of the safest/largest chemical companies in the US for 10 years. We bought 24 acres in Sandy Hook, KY. And I am relocating there June of 2022. I am presently taking a barn apart in OH and relocating it to our KY property to rebuild it with living quarters. And then build our house on top our mountain. I create items such as cutting/charcuterie boards, lamps, tables, etc. and art (FB - Erin’s Tree LLC). I have gutted a house to it‘s exterior walls, and rebuilt everything (framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, cabinets). I‘ve also worked with concrete, siding, roofing, doors, and windows. I have used multiple pieces of equipment (skid steer, mini skid steer, mini excavator, fork-trucks, scissor lift, boom lift, tractors with backhoe, bucket, box grader, and semi trucks).  If I don’t know how to do something that I want/need to do, I research it and learn how to do it. 

Lowes: 2003-2007 Learned a lot about different materials and their uses in areas that I didn't have much experience in.

Spires pest control and construction services: 2007-2012 I was a self employed sub-contractor using all I learned at Lowe’s in the construction field , and was then trained and certified in pest control. I also did maintenance, landscaping upkeep, and snow removal to the owners properties, including his.

DuPont: 2012-2021 Safety, safety, safety. I was trained in the safe operation as a chemical process operator running lines 1, 2, and ST. I was responsible for the safe operation of all three lines and the entire building as the process operator. I was the safety star point team member on our shift, and also the ERT (Emergency Response Team) Captain on our shift for the last three years of service with the company. 

I never stop learning. I do research, and learn how to do whatever it may be that I need to do. 

I have a high school diploma, I’ve been pest control certified, lead abatement certified, my firefighter II certification just expired in 2021. I’ve also been trained in NIMS (National Incident Management System). Extensive safety trainings throughout the last 10 years.
