He graduated from East Career and Technical Academy with an e m p h a s i s i n E l e c t r i c a l Engineering. He was awarded an internship with the Nevada System of Higher Education while still in high school, and was working for a grant under the Department of Labor soon thereafter. He brings with him a strong background in clerical, administrative, safety, and education. He is ready to assist our clients and Safety Engineers with anything from hiking trail recommendations to GHS labels. Joy Marsico-Operations and Financial Support Specialist

A native of Pennsylvania, and honors graduate of Business Careers Institute, Joy brings twenty-eight years of accounting and customer service experience to this position; including helpdesk support, application training, and quality control and assurance. As a Gold Star Mother, she also serves Southern Nevada’s military and veteran community. Her experience is vast and varied. From exotics trainer to veterinary management. She now serves Compliance Alliance in all facets of accounts payable and accounts receivables, and is ready to assist our clients with billing, webinars, scheduling, issuing continuing education units and much more. Jeff Miller-Account Executive Jeff was born and raised in Ohio, played classical piano for 12 years and the trombone for 15 years. He attended Bowling Green State University where he majored in international business a n d m i n o r ed i n m u s i c performance. Jeff comes to us with years of experience in the residential and light commercial air conditioning, heating and roofing industries. He gained valuable hands on experience with OSHA

regulations, training, and integration into the day

to day operations of small businesses. As a testament to his Ohio upbringing he is a big fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes and you can catch him every Saturday watching them during the football season. When Jeff isn’t working, or watching football, you’ll find him riding his Harley Davidson or hiking and backpacking. Cynthia Short-Safety Engineer After a successful career in the United States Coast Guard, Cynthia and her family moved from Boston to Las Vegas in 2007 where she worked for many years with the military as a civi l ian contractor on numerous contracts. Deciding to pursue a career in the medical field, Cynthia studied medical assisting and x-ray technology and obtained her Certified Bone Densitometry Technologist (CBDT) certification. During her time performing DEXA scans, Cynthia became aquainted with Compliance Alliance through trainings and quarterly visits and

is now looking forward to working with our numerous clients and offering them the same high level of service you have come to expect from Compliance Alliance. October 12th—October 20th Wesley Smith-Safety Engineer Wesley was raised in Fallon Nevada. Graduated from Churchill County High School, and then attended BYU. At BYU he graduated with a dual bachelors in Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety as well as Health Promotion. He brings experience working as an industrial hygienist and a safety engineer in the construction and mining industries. Has been a Spanish translator for 7 years. Wesley is currently pursuing a Masters Degree from UNLV in Public Health. In his spare time he loves spending time with family, hunting, fishing, basketball, and football. He has had many traveling experiences and particularly loves traveling across Latin America and the Caribbean. Although some of the faces and voices you may have gotten used to have changed, you will still experience the same great service you have come to expect from all the team members here at Compliance Alliance. All of us here are excited to have such motivated team members. Please join us in welcoming all of these amazing people.

Happy Holidays from all of us to you.

During the holidays, we often think of those less fortunate than ourselves, in particular -- those serving our country

away from their families and those children that Santa will never visit. In the true spirit of the 2016 holiday season,

we will work with the USO and the Salvation Army Angel Tree to provide as much warmth, comfort and joy to both

those in harm’s way and those less fortunate than ourselves -- utilizing the resources we would otherwise have used to recognize you and your staff for your continued support of

our organization.

Again, we thank you for your loyalty and good will, and hope this warms your heart in the same way it does ours.
