Background

About Alan Brackett

I grew up in Maine with a strong family tradition of enjoying the outdoors. I graduated from Unity College with a B.S in Wildlife Biology. As a non-traditional student, I used my time effectively and focused on getting the most value out of my education. I enrolled in courses that not only taught content but applicable skills such as statistical analysis, GIS, data collection and scientific report writing. I've been on front line of conservation working with Alaska's Pacific Salmon, diadromous fish of Maine's North Atlantic, reforestation in Susquehanna State Park, Maryland as well as guiding waterfowl hunts along the coast of South Texas. I previously worked at The Jackson Laboratory as an Environmental Health and Safety Specialist where my primary responsibilities were in the chemical and hazardous laboratory waste sector. Additionally, my diverse workload dealt with biological, radiation and life safety where I performed training's, safety audits, compliance research and documentation meeting state and federal regulations set forth by OSHA, EPA, DOT and Maine’s DEP to name a few. I now use my education and skills at GE Vernova in Bangor, Maine. The industrial environment uses different sectors of my skills previously learned and has also added many more. GE’s safety focused mission has taught me the importance of Framework & Standard Work, streamlining business through Kaizen Lean collaborative projects while being anchored in robust Life Saving Principles.
