****************@*****.***
I've always been driven by innovation and strategic partnerships that allow me and my team to make revolutionary products for our customers. Manufacturing isn't a static industry. It requires a certain respect and knowledge of understanding when a process isn't as efficient as it can be. It's this very respect and knowhow that I offer to my team.
I am a Senior Quality Engineer with fifteen years of extensive problem solving skills. I have a proven track record of building strong customer relationships, methodically applying problem solving tools to eliminate defects, and the ability to mentor members of the Quality and Manufacturing team.
