I am a Grade 2 operator in CA. The grade scale in CA goes from 1 to 5 with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. I have recently passed my Grade 3 and Grade 4 exams. I will be a fully certified Grade 3 in June 2010 and then a Grade 4 in 2011. I plan on taking my Grade 5 as soon as I am qualified for the exam. I am currently studying for my Grade 1 Laboratory Analyst which I plan on taking in April of 2010.

I am currently the CPO of a small MBR plant at a winery in Geyserville. I have worked at 3 wastewater plants since I was 16 years old (I am now 21). I started as an intern in an environmental compliance department where I passed my Grade 1 exam, my D1 Water Distribution exam, and my Grade 1 Maintenance Technologist exam. After holding that position for about 2.5 years, I transferred to my second WWTP and became a full time employee as an OIT. I then passed my Grade 2 exam, my Grade 3 exam, and my Grade 4 exam. I finally became a certified operator in May of 2009 (a 2 year process). I left that job after a little over 1.5 years for my current job. My current job offers new challenges for me that I am ready to take head on.

I have experience in Operations, Lab procedures, and Environmental Compliance with my main focus being in Operations.

I feel like a huge portion of my life has been spent in this field and its just the beginning. I hope you enjoy my training videos FREE OF CHARGE!
