The safety procedures that I follow while at work include maintaining a safe and steady pace, wearing protective gear when needed, and reporting all unsafe conditions to my boss.

In leisure activities, such as sports, I make sure I am wearing the proper equipment so I don’t get injured. In my free time I also enjoy volunteering at the animal shelter. When helping out with the cats, I wear gloves and long sleeves to avoid getting scratched while cleaning out their cage.
