Dr. Brooks has 24 years human factors and ergonomics experience in most types of industries and manufacturing environments. She has comprehensive experience in both new and retrofit design, and has worked with organizations both internally relative to employees and especially engineering staffs, as well as externally for end-user acceptance of products and services. She draws upon her medical background, basic research experience in physiology, both basic and applied psychological research, and combines her medical training, education in biology, experimental psychology and her PhD in Industrial and Organizational Psychology with her Masters in Business to find an appropriate balance between productivity, efficiency, safety and health, with an organization's profitability and return on investments. She has worked diligently with engineering and operations as well as other organizational departments and management to achieve awareness, understanding, and acceptance of human factors and ergonomics and thus yielding appreciable gains in design acceptance, ergonomic implementation, and has a proven track record of successfully reducing accidents and injuries while enhancing productivity and contributing toward the achievement of organizational goals. She is known for her problem solving skills, especially related to those issues which have historically resisted resolution.
