Amanda Mullins

Amanda Mullins brings a unique perspective to environmental health and safety, shaped by her background in the United States Air Force where she served on active duty in public health until her medical retirement in 2014. After transitioning to civilian life, she earned her Bachelor's in Environmental Health and Safety in 2017. She now works in health and safety management with a focus on the process safety management side of the field. Drawing from her military experience, her leadership style emphasizes never asking others to do tasks she is unwilling to perform herself while balancing delegation with hands-on involvement. She is motivated by the opportunity to make a tangible difference by ensuring people return home safely each day and aligns organizational goals with worker safety. Amanda advises women entering the field to be strong-minded and confident, noting that they must often work twice as hard in male-dominated industries, and she highlights the value of certifications such as OSHA 10 and OSHA 30 alongside formal education.
