Meet V4P’s Founder & CEO, Katherine White

Katherine was born, raised, and educated in Springfield, Massachusetts and relocated to Texas in 2000.
A mother of three adult children, Brandi, Lewis II, and Jomar, and a proud grandmother of one, Caiden.
She holds a master’s degree in business management and received her safety trainings and certifications from UTA in Arlington, Texas.

Katherine conducted Occupational Safety & Health audits for 12 years throughout the United States and taught OSHA General Industry classes in the private sector. She realized there is a need for safety and health awareness and chose to expand her business to share her knowledge within the public sector.

A member of the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), and previously served as a Special Government Employee (SGE) for OSHA’s Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), which she loved.  “Safety First” is not a marketing slogan for Katherine it is a way of life!
Katherine owned and operated a commercial printshop for more than 10-years and was certified by The State Office of Minority and Women Business Assistance (SOMWBA) in the state of Massachusetts.
During her free time, she loves to visit with family and lifelong friends and looks forward to traveling back to her favorite Caribbean destination, Curaçao.
