A manager who leads by example, I am an expert at running testing
laboratories smoothly while achieving the highest quality standards. I am
adept at developing and improving processes, ensuring results and reporting
are accurate and timely. My focus on quality guarantees that laboratory
functions efficiently produce superior products.
As a hands-on manager, I am involved in all aspects of laboratory
operations, including test methodology, inventory and instrumentation
maintenance. I am known as a motivator and coach of highly productive
teams. My strengths:
o Monitoring and ensuring compliance to regulatory standards with
Federal, state and local agencies
o Improving processes and products to meet customer specifications and
expectations
o Managing lab operations - processes, reporting and analysis
o Conducting quality control testing and rectifying deficiencies in
methodology and results
o Cross-training personnel to avoid project downtime and missed
deadlines
I earned my BS in Biology at Oklahoma Panhandle State University. I have
attended training in management skills, as well as project and time
management. I am a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and
the American Chemical Society (ACS).
Selected Accomplishments
Completed lab move with no loss of productivity. Mandated to locate and set
up a new FTS laboratory while maintaining current daily operations. Found
warehouse and built lab from ground up, acting as designer and coordinating
subcontractors. Completed build and move within two months without missing
operational deadlines.
Improved efficiency while streamlining operations. Siegel had two shifts
running for many years. The evening shift was unproductive, with no
supervisory oversight. Convinced upper management to allow a one week trial
of combining all personnel in day shift. Immediately increased productivity
without missing any deadlines.
Utilized team approach to meet important goal. A chemist at FTS was not
meeting goals and in danger of missing a critical deadline. Delegated the
workload to other staff as management moved up deadline. Finished project
ahead of schedule to present new technology to Board of Directors.
Brought work in-house for significant savings. FTS was going to use an
outside facility to drill and cut core samples at a cost of ~$2K per set
for five or six samples. Vendor required a week to produce each set.
Suggested purchasing needed equipment for one-time outlay of $2K. Saved
$10K in costs, produced sample set within hours.
Created team culture for improved productivity and results. FTS was running
each project independently. Designed and implemented team model, where all
projects were discussed at meetings and assignments made based on strengths
of individual team members. Encouraged collaboration, bringing new insight
into each project.
