PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

A product development professional with proven management and technical success in higher education, medical technology and I.T seeking to participate in the development of effective and high quality products in these areas. I have worked extensively with Abbott Laboratories, Rush Presbyterian St Luke's, and DeVry University. My skills range from the laboratory ( animal, biochemistry and mechanical ) to managing national programs. As a result I have proven innovative skills creating multiple courses in bio-medical technology, engineering models, co-inventor of 9 medical device patents, forms based software products, co-editor to two books in process and an Internet marketing approach. I have a knack for making innovative change happen. In particular I am specifically oriented towards process improvement and development including software with programming experience and testing experience in Unix Scripting, C++ and Visual Basic. In addition I bring a culturally sensitive approach to my work environment and have a well developed sense of respect for ethnic diversity. This sensitivity is supported by language skills in Spanish and French that can be brought up to conversational level in short order.
