What I'm looking for

I seek a safety-focused role in aviation quality or maintenance where I can lead audits, improve processes, mentor teams, and ensure regulatory compliance.

I am an aeronautical engineer and seasoned quality auditor with hands-on experience in aviation maintenance, quality management systems, and instruction. I have led audits, process improvement initiatives, and root cause analyses to implement corrective and preventive actions that improve safety and compliance.

My background includes coordinating maintenance schedules, managing resources, and controlling QMS documentation to ensure regulatory alignment and operational efficiency. I have instructed aeronautical subjects at the college level and trained students and staff in systems, procedures, and safety practices.

I hold ISO 9001-related training and a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, and I am committed to partnering with cross-functional teams and external authorities to uphold industry standards and minimize operational downtime.
