What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can drive product development and quality improvements in a collaborative, safety-focused environment with opportunities for technical growth.

I am a licensed Chemical Engineer with hands-on experience in R&D, quality assurance, safety, and product formulation across manufacturing environments. I have developed and optimized paint and consumer product formulations, conducted property testing, and supported production inspection and QA processes.

I have worked in roles spanning chemist and safety officer responsibilities to research & development specialist and sales/support representative, contributing to cost calculations, trial batching, supplier coordination, and market research. I hold certifications in occupational safety and have passed both Chemical Technician and Chemical Engineering licensure examinations.

I am determined, hardworking, and adaptable, able to work independently or in teams, and comfortable using MS Office and SAP Business One. I seek roles where I can apply technical know-how, drive product development, and support quality and safety improvements.
