What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead compliance programs, apply AI-driven automation, collaborate cross-functionally, and advance sustainable product development.

I am a compliance professional with nine years of experience in product materials compliance for global manufacturing, focused on regulatory frameworks such as REACH, RoHS, TSCA, and Prop 65. I combine technical materials knowledge from a Materials Engineering degree with practical experience managing supplier data, audits, and regulatory documentation.

At Lear Corporation I led compliance for over 18,000 products and implemented AI-backed workflows that reduced manual review by 40%, while building dashboards and KPI tracking to improve transparency and decision-making. I have standardized reporting processes, supported audits, and delivered training to stakeholders and new hires.

I thrive on cross-functional collaboration with procurement, EHS, and legal teams to drive sustainable product development, risk mitigation, and process standardization. I bring hands-on experience with data reporting and analysis tools, project management fundamentals, and AI-driven compliance automation.
