What I'm looking for

I am seeking a stable role in quality, materials, or supply chain where I can lead process improvements, ensure compliance, train staff, and contribute to operational efficiency.

I am a quality-minded supply chain and materials control professional with progressive experience in inspection, compliance, and supervision across manufacturing and logistics environments. I have led material control teams, conducted on-the-spot audits, processed nonconforming material, and implemented reporting and segregation practices while training new hires and improving workflows.

I hold certifications including Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, ISO 9001 & AS9100 Internal Auditor, forklift and HAZMAT qualifications, and shipping/inspection authorizations. I am detail-oriented, organized, and communication-focused, committed to ensuring product conformity and operational efficiency.
