I've been in my field for about 20 to 25 years now. I came in fresh out of school, just really interested in product testing, and that's how I stumbled across UL through a student friend of mine. My main area of expertise today is regulatory compliance, and a typical day for me involves mitigating compliance issues for my company's products. I'd say my most notable professional achievement so far has been transitioning from being a compliance handler at a third-party agency to bringing those talents to our manufacturing environment. What really inspired me to get into this field is the idea of making the world a safer place - it starts with one product at a time. I've been exposed to so many standards agencies like THTA and ANSI. Sometimes you don't have to be a member, but just the exposure to it starts with a meeting here, and then next thing you know, you're fully engrossed in it.
