project management

. Experience with distillation, reaction engineering, laboratory

experimentation, and batch processing

. Six Sigma Greenbelt - with lean and TRIZ training

. Capital project management from $20K to >$3M as the manufacturing

division representative

. Experience with Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) and Process

Hazard Analysis (PHA)

EDUCATION

Bachelor of Science- Chemical Engineering, May

2008

Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering and Barrett Honors College

GPA 3.76

Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Process Improvement Engineer- Eastman Chemical Company- Kingsport, TN

June 2008 - Current

. Completed many process hazard evaluations using what if checklists

and layer of protection analysis

. Generated process redesigns of existing processes to increase

capacity and to improve process safety

. Developed project hoppers for debottlenecking efforts and to deliver

projects to new employees

. Justified capital projects by conducting cost savings calculations

and presenting the value to management

. Conducted laboratory experiments to evaluate new distillation

strategies and alternative catalysts

. Increased reactor yields using simplex experimentation to create

over $500K of annual raw material savings

. Managed many capital projects ranging from safety improvements to

capacity increases greater than 60%

. Provided process development and manufacturing support of a new

newly commercialized batch product

. Reduced cycle time by 40% and costs by 30% on a new product with

pilot plant and laboratory experiments

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE

Lab Researcher- ASU- Department of Chemical Engineering- Tempe, AZ Dec.

2005 - May 2008

. Successfully created a second generation library of 10^5 diversity

by using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to create structural

mutations to an existing ?-synuclein oligomer specific antibody

single chain variable fragment (scFv) in E. Coli bacteria.

Summer Intern- Bend Research- Bend, OR Summer 2005

. Worked with solid drug delivery systems using techniques such as:

emulsions and coated particles.

Summer Intern- Chemica Technologies- Bend, OR Mar. -

Aug. 2004

. Performed wet chemistry to evaluate the effectiveness of substrates used

in dialysis.

Line Engineer- Seaswirl Boats- Culver, OR Summer 2002
