What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can apply my strengths in quality coordination, compliance, and process improvement. I thrive in fast-paced, structured environments and enjoy turning big goals into results. I bring strong system skills (SAP, Camstar, Workday) and value teamwork, accuracy, and continuous improvement in every project.

I’m an experienced and results-oriented professional with a strong background in quality release coordination, supply chain operations, and team leadership—particularly within the medical and regulated industries. Over the years, I’ve built a solid foundation in auditing, compliance, and process improvement, allowing me to thrive in fast-paced, detail-driven environments.

My career has centered around supporting operational excellence by managing records, aligning with regulatory requirements, and coordinating cross-functional efforts. I’m well-versed in systems like Lab Link, Camstar, Workday, and SAP, which I’ve used to streamline workflows, increase efficiency, and enhance data accuracy.

With a Bachelor’s in Accounting and an MBA from the University of Phoenix, I combine technical skills with strategic thinking. I’m passionate about continuous learning and professional growth, and I bring flexibility, strong communication skills, and a commitment to high standards in everything I do.
