What I'm looking for

I seek a strategic operations or product role where I can apply Lean Six Sigma to optimize processes, lead cross-functional teams, and drive measurable growth.

I am a results-driven Continuous Improvement Specialist with over a decade of experience in strategic planning, data analysis, and business growth. I have led production and product teams to double output, reduce operational costs, launch four product lines, and achieve significant turnover increases by applying Lean Six Sigma and process optimization techniques.

Skilled in stakeholder management, project oversight, and cross-functional leadership, I combine marketing insight with manufacturing and operations expertise to identify inefficiencies and deliver measurable improvements. I hold BBA and BCom Marketing degrees and multiple Lean Six Sigma certifications, and I am committed to furthering my impact while pursuing an MBA.
