- Planned and executed projects salvaging $3.4MM of inventory through collaboration with design engineers, design liaison engineers, and rework specialists. Resulted in an end of year scrap rate $230k below target.- Participated in weekly cross-functional meetings to reduce overall aged/obsolete inventory from $4.7MM to $1.4MM (returning $3.3MM worth of aged inventory back into production).- Worked as part of the new product introduction team and assisted with the manufacturing development and qualification of seven (7) new components in 2020.- Identified short and long-term process efficiency goals. Used statistical process control to target areas requiring process improvement and implemented process changes to improve machining capability. Worked with design engineers to modify drawings when appropriate.- Facilitated the use of a data-driven approach to drive process improvement projects that increased cell-wide machining first pass yield and reduced the first pass defect rate by 28.4%.- Defined standard work procedures and created manufacturing instructions/methods.- Participated in Lean Action Kaizen events and helped with the development of the first GVL Shroud Lean Line.- Developed custom software for quality data accumulation and analysis to better measure process capability.

Greenville, South Carolina, Us

- Developed and characterized a novel, biologic scaffold material for cartilage and bone.- Experience with wet lab work, aseptic cell culture, histology, lyophilization, chemical crosslinking, mechanical testing, formulation screening and analyses, evaluation of biologic materials, writing animal use protocols (AUPs), and statistical analyses.- Conducted literature reviews, developed protocols, and conducted experiments in support of ongoing research.- Mentored and taught a total of four undergraduate students involved with the project.- Prepared proposals, project plans, and technical presentations for ongoing research.

- Member of leadership focus team responsible for assessing and improving quality and speed of service.- Involved in bi-weekly meetings with managers and other team leaders, analysis of current and previous performance, and development and initiation of procedures to improve quality and speed of service.- Team leader in a store that finished in the top 1% of all Chick-fil-A restaurants in the country based on national corporate benchmarks in 2013.

- Conducted translational research to evaluate the impact of design on fixation stability of total shoulder replacement implants in conjunction with the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas.- Designed and tested novel fixtures for implant testing on an Instron servohydraulic mechanical test frame.- Primary point of contact for clinical interaction; led tours for physicians, researchers, and distinguished guests.- Obtained surgical shadowing experience in the operating room and cadaver teaching lab.

- Iteratively improved and tested a reactor system for the continuous flow synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles.- Conducted all of the magnetic susceptibility testing and chemical analyses for other projects in the research group.- Modeled and validated the relationship between nanoparticle size and nanoparticle magnetic susceptibility.- Modeled and validated the relationship between ligand length and nanoparticle magnetic susceptibility.- Developed a nondestructive method to determine nanoparticle colloid concentration based on magnetic susceptibility.

Evans, Georgia, Us

- Prepared patients for physician assessment: taking vitals, reviewing medication, documenting with electronic medical records (EMR), and recording chief complaints.- Shadowed physicians through exams, procedures, minor surgeries, and decision-making.

- Competitive summer program for science and engineering research funded by NASA.- Designed a high-pressure reactor vessel and developed a novel, green method of making magnetic nanoclusters.- Designed a study to determine the effect of reaction time and temperature on nanoparticle cluster size and morphology.- Used analytical techniques to physically and chemically characterize nanocluster colloids.- Developed and tested a high throughput, continuous flow method for synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles.- Planned, organized, and participated in a STEM outreach activity for incoming college freshmen.
