SUMMARY
An enthusiastic, highly motivated individual with a strong work ethic. I balance the demands of project deliverables, engineering requirements, operations schedules, and finance with top level objectives. Process improvement and data analysis are two great passions. One goal is to bring in revenue/save costs greater than my salary. I adapt quickly to new approaches and methods and love to teach as much as to learn. Willing to relocate in U.S.
