What I'm looking for

I am looking for a hands-on manufacturing role that values safety, continuous improvement, training opportunities, and measurable impact on production and quality.

I am a motivated, business-minded manufacturing professional with many years of progressive experience managing production, quality, and cost control within manufacturing environments. I combine hands-on machine operation and line leadership with a background in technical customer support.

My recent roles include machine operator and line lead work where I performed regular equipment maintenance, followed 6S safety standards, and trained team members. I have experience with repetitive lifting, packaging, and adherence to safety and work instructions.

Earlier in my career I served as a Technical Support Specialist troubleshooting landline and internet issues, using operational systems and tools to resolve multi-network problems and identifying trends for root cause elimination. I have also worked as a process technician in pilot plant and lab settings, launching new products and training others on procedures.

I bring strengths in Lean manufacturing, root cause analysis, internal audits, quality inspection, document management, and Microsoft Office. I am focused on contributing to operational efficiency, safety, and continuous improvement.
