What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can manage supplier relationships, improve procurement and inspection processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and contribute to continuous improvement in aerospace programs.

I am a highly motivated aerospace procurement and quality assurance professional with extensive experience managing supplier portfolios, negotiating contracts, and ensuring on-time delivery for major aircraft programs including F35, F15, F16, F18, and C17.

I have led receiving inspection teams, developed CMM programs, and implemented process improvements that reduced non-conforming material and improved inspection efficiency. I regularly collaborate with engineering, planning, contracts, and accounting to resolve supplier issues and support program schedules.

I am committed to continuous improvement and regulatory compliance (AS9100/ISO 9001, ITAR/EAR), and I bring strong skills in supplier performance management, dimensional inspection, and procurement systems to drive program success.
