What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and allow me to lead impactful projects.

I am an Advanced Manufacturing Engineer with a strong background in mechanical engineering and a passion for optimizing manufacturing processes. Currently, I work at GE Healthcare, where I collaborate with operations to tackle manufacturing, safety, and quality challenges. My efforts have led to significant improvements, including a Six Sigma project that reduced process cycle time from 160 to 55 minutes, saving the company $6.5 million annually.

Throughout my career, I have successfully driven the launch of two new product manufacturing lines, generating a combined revenue of $40 million annually. My experience includes utilizing R and Java for statistical analysis and industrial automation, as well as mentoring junior engineers to foster their professional growth. I take pride in my ability to lead Kaizen events, resulting in enhanced tool life and quality improvements.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Marquette University, where I also participated in various extracurricular activities, including leading the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my Six Sigma Green Belt certification and participation in design challenges.
