THE RADON REPORTER | 25 When did you first get certified? I became a radon mitigation specialist in 2015. Why did you get certified? I got certified while I was working on my home inspector intern license because I saw so many homes that tested above 4.0pCi/L during the clients’ inspection period. I knew that I could install the systems, being that I was already a handy person. So I looked up how to become certified, and never looked back. Why NRPP? Because they’re the top dog when it comes to all things radon! What benefit(s) did certification bring? The ability to open my own company and be self-employed, a plethora of knowledge about radon and its impact on my community, and a feeling of joy that I could help people be healthy and live longer lives. Any advice for people who are considering a career in radon? Test the waters out to see if it’s for you. If it’s something you love doing, get certified and work to make yourself self-employed and financially secure! Any advice for people who are considering certification? Study hard! The tests are harder than you think! And ask other certified professionals questions. We can guide you to help make it a smooth and enjoyable journey to become a radon measurement professional/mitigation specialist!
