CAREER OBJECTIVE
I seek an opportunity to apply my industrial engineering education and experience to a growing manufacturing industry. I’ve collaborated with a unionized workforce to standardize work methods and optimize quality for the productivity and safety of everyone, and most recently I’ve further enhanced my oral and written communication skills as an adjunct faculty member at a local University. I have successfully prepared facilities and management for annual quality and safety audits, and am eager to further my career employing my organizational skills and team-building experience to the manufacturing arena.
