AREAS OF EXPERTISE

My strengths are communication, accountability, efficiency, and evaluation. I would use the Continuous Improvement process to reduce cost, produce a quality product safely and more efficiently, and improve the overall process. I would do so by monitoring the process daily, communicating with all departments, developing and improving quality documentation, analyzing data trends, implementing corrective actions, and creating process and quality system audits to hold all involved accountable to following the procedures and processes safely and accurately.
