What I'm looking for

I'm looking to use my operations, quality, leadership, mentoring, and teaching background to build productive teams and create positive learning environments.

At Tate and Lyle, I lead 60–100 employees and optimize plant processes to improve productivity, efficiency, quality, equipment reliability, and production output. I use data-driven improvements and lean principles to reduce waste, address bottlenecks, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Previously, I managed quality assurance at Alcoa across three departments and led production teams at Chief Industries. I also bring extensive youth, children’s ministry, pastoral care, mentoring, teaching, and community leadership experience.
