Property Damage Inspection & Restoration Expert

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

I am a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), FL Licensed Asbestos Consultant, FL Licensed Mold Assessor, FL Licensed Mold Remediator, and a Certified Safety Professional (CSP). I bring a unique dual perspective as both a restoration professional and an inspector/consultant, ensuring comprehensive and practical solutions for property damage and indoor environmental challenges. Since 2016, I have co-owned and operated LAQ Environmental Health and Safety (LAQ-EHS), an industrial hygiene consulting firm based in Jacksonville, FL. My daily work involves boots-on-the-ground inspections, addressing complex mold, asbestos, fire, and indoor air quality issues across diverse building environments. Prior to my involvement at LAQ-EHS, I successfully owned and operated a restoration company, giving me firsthand insight into the challenges and best practices of restoration work. In addition, as President of SafetySHE Consulting, Inc., I leverage my expertise to provide focused consulting services, including asbestos consulting, report reviews, and expert witness testimony to attorneys, other independent consultants, and restoration companies. My expertise also includes worker safety, indoor environmental contamination and remediation, and exposure control. I am known for my ability to clearly and effectively communicate complex technical information, ensuring my client understands the critical issues, risks, and solutions involved in each case. Combining my technical credentials, practical experience, and clear communication style, I provide authoritative, evidence-based insights and testimony as an expert witness in property damage and environmental health cases.
