Throughout my career, I have taken on significant responsibilities, from managing manufacturing processes at Broadcom to serving as a 911 Dispatcher. My experience includes leading teams in continuous improvement projects and ensuring quality assurance in high-stakes environments. I pride myself on being a problem solver, constantly collaborating with engineers and specialists to enhance operational efficiency.
