design support, lean design and six sigma quality, and a thorough knowledge
of electro-mechanical assembly processes, injection molding, sheet metal
manufacturing, die casting and extrusion manufacturing. I have been
responsible for developing and transitioning high and low volume products
from new product introduction through end-of-life, applying best design
practices, DFMA, FMEA, value engineering and quality improvement programs
and techniques. I graduated from the University of Lowell, MA with a BS in
Industrial Engineering Technology. I also have a Plastics Engineering
Certificate from UMass Lowell, and an MS in Engineering Management from
Western New England College and recently completed a Graduate Certificate
program in Manufacturing Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute
with lean and quality concentration.
I am confident that my skills in the areas of Manufacturing and Supplier
Engineering, process improvement and mechanical new product development,
