What I'm looking for

I seek roles focused on inventory and quality systems where I can lead process improvements, ensure regulatory compliance, and support cross-site operations.

I am a dedicated plant science professional with extensive experience in inventory control, quality management, and regulatory compliance. My background spans roles in inventory systems, label room coordination, and quality/compliance across agricultural and production environments.

At Benson Hill I overhauled inventory systems, implemented RFID for expedited check-in, created and maintained a Quality Management System, and developed international shipment documentation to meet diverse country requirements. I have experience using LIMS, Microsoft Office, and Smartsheet, and co-chaired SOP and IPM-related committees.

In operational roles I have implemented FDA-compliant pest control programs, directed corrective actions from audits, authored SOPs for product launches, and supported financial inventory audits. I helped launch rotating inventory processes and expanded site-to-site transfer capabilities in a label room coordination role.

I bring strong leadership, documentation skills, and a commitment to continuous improvement and compliance across multiple regulatory bodies. I seek to apply these strengths to roles that value operational excellence, quality systems, and cross-site coordination.
