WORK PROFILE

DECEMBER 2007 – FEBRUARY 2020

SENIOR SCIENTIST - CHEMISTRY, nestle research/gerber products company – fremont, mi

Metals and minerals - sample preparation and analysis (ICP-MS and XRF)

Proximate testing (fat, fiber, protein, moisture, ash)

Solids analysis (gravimetric, IR, microwave, specialized)

Color analysis

Thermal properties (DSC, Thermal Conductivity)

Water analysis (pH, CON, TDS, Residual Chlorine, Organoleptic)

Enzyme testing

Delta Panel member

Shelf-life testing (Isotherm generation, water activity)

Supervisory role for interns, contractors, and the Chemistry Lab

Write, revise, and review laboratory instructions

Training for new associates on most methods

Safety training for associates and on-site contractors

SHE Representative for the Quality Management Group

Rheology analysis (Brookfield viscosity, multiple other methods)

Certified ISO and NQMS Internal auditor (FSSC 22000, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001)

HPLC (sugars, vitamin c)

Accomplishments: I became the Rheology Expert in the research group, versed on several instruments and methods. This has allowed me to help complete the filing process for health care and other consumer beverages. I championed the measurement of Color and lead the analysis of alternative ways to measure it. This provided an important tool for use at an off-site location for consumers to help gauge acceptance of commercial product color in the marketplace. Provided the analysis and initial insight into an alternative production method for sodium reduction. This supported a successful patent application for the launch of reduced sodium products. Developed methodology for analysis of high mineral content samples by ICP-MS. This eliminated the need for an ICP (cost savings of $150,000).

AUGUST 1996 – DECEMBER 2007

QUALITY CONTROL SUPERVISOR, honeywell burdick & jackson – muskegon, mi

Supervised Laboratory Technicians on 3 shifts

Method development and training on multiple techniques

Routine Quality Control testing of products and raw materials as required

Trace-level and ultra-trace level analyses in a cleanroom environment

Water analysis (pH, CON, TOC, TDS)

Certified Internal ISO-9001 auditor

Green Belt Lean Manufacturing

Safety coordinator and champion for the Quality Control group

Instrument repair and troubleshooting

A major accomplishment was designing and implementing testing in a Class-100 cleanroom for testing of electronic grade solvents and blends. Included purchasing and installing an ICP-MS, an IC, and particle counter. This provided $5 to 6 million in addition sales over several years.

AUGUST 1990 – AUGUST 1996

SENIOR CHEMIST - METALS, encotec, inc. - Ann arbor, mi

ICP-MS and ICP analyses of multiple sample types, sample preparation

GFAA, CV, and Hydride analysis of samples

Method development and training

Responsible for CLP and RCRA testing protocols

ACTIVITIES

I am mentor for our middle school and high school FIRST Robotics teams and have been doing this for several years. I provide guidance and mentoring for safety and various other activities (building, programming, electrical) for the team, including pit design elements for each season (the theme is unique each season). I am the 3D printing provider and resident expert, and contribute adult supervision when the team travels, as needed. I am passionate about creating with Lego, and have created several winning creations for the Chicago Brickworld® convention. My son and I assist in many aspects of setting up and tearing down, while displaying our own creations while we are at Brickworld®. I enjoy trail rides in our Jeep (2004 Unlimited (LJ)) along with tinkering on it with my son, photography, traveling the back roads, visiting Michigan’s wonderful wineries and lighthouses, and collecting books by many Michigan mystery authors.
