What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own quality and keep production running smoothly—using my assembly, inspection, scheduling, and inventory control experience—while collaborating with sales/QA teams and contributing to a reliable, standards-driven operation.

I’m a hands-on Assembly Technician who takes pride in building quality into every step. I load robotic presses, perform 100% quality checks with fixtures, and sort parts to qualify anything questionable before it reaches the next stage.

Across roles, I’ve supported smooth operations through scheduling, coordination, and accountability. At MDI Worldwide, I worked with sales and purchasing to meet due dates using an MRP system, and I verified incoming and outgoing goods against specifications and inventory targets.

I also have people leadership experience, including supervising teams, training associates, and filling in for managers when needed. Whether coordinating vendor credits in deli/bakery work or investigating scrap issues with Quality Assurance, I aim to keep processes consistent and customers supported.

Earlier in my career, I worked long-term as a Floral Designer/Greenhouse Worker—designing, producing, and quality checking product for everyday and special occasions. Today, I bring that same attention to detail, reliability, and standards-driven mindset to every role I take on.
