It is extremely important for me to learn as much as possible for me to excel in my new career. I believe taking on the role as a Safety Professional I will be able to really connect with my fellow employees and apply myself where needed. My goal is to obtain the highest certification in safety as possible and as quickly as possible so I can be an asset to the company.

I became a safety professional because I wanted to prevent injuries rather than treat injuries. Training and development are important to me because it allows me to share what I learned. Receiving this scholarship will empower me to prove my expertise and provide support for those that are affected through teaching and guiding safe work practices. I strive for continuous improvement, not only out in the field, but also for myself.

This scholarship is going to be used toward my ASP and it’s financially going to assist me in getting good study material to study for the ASP because I’ve heard it’s difficult and I need assistance and I could use it towards and opens up doors for me to take courses to advance my career.

I’m grateful for the industry scholarship offered by HammerTech and AGC of California! It’s a rare opportunity to have a scholarship offered for industry professionals to assist in the advancement of our career. The scholarship is an added incentive push my level of knowledge higher, by studying for and obtaining the CSP. Thank you HammerTech and AGC of California.
