PROFILE

Accomplished senior quality engineer with over 20 years working in operations and engineering. A solid background in quality

and presenting results of consortium operations. Skilled in developing and implementing standardized quality policies and

procedures. Strong track record of obtaining results through process, analytical and issue resolution skills. With ‘out of the box’

approaches, have implemented multiple quality improvement and cost savings processes throughout my career. Swift career

change into real estate reinforces my strong belief in self-motivation, dedication and spirit of teamwork. As my brokerage is

self-sufficient, I opt to re-engage in electronic disciplines.
