What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead supplier quality improvements, perform audits and RCAs, and implement ISO/IATF-compliant systems while collaborating cross-functionally for measurable quality gains.

I am a detail-oriented supplier quality specialist with over a decade of progressive experience in quality engineering, supply chain coordination, and manufacturing operations. I have led cross-functional teams, performed root cause analyses, managed MRB and defective material claims, and maintained ISO 9001 and IATF 16949–compliant processes to improve supplier performance and product quality.

My background includes on-site supplier audits, developing inspection SOPs, creating performance and cost-of-poor-quality reports, and coordinating domestic and international logistics. I hold multiple ASQ certifications and an active U.S. security clearance, and I leverage tools such as CEBOS, FMEA, SQL, and ERP systems to drive measurable improvements.
