I am a visionary and strategic Operations Program Manager with 8+ years of experience in the technology and manufacturing industries; by harnessing innovative tools and systematic approaches to transform chaos into streamlined excellence, I drive impactful change and foster success.As a kid I would dismantle everything I could get my hands on, in an attempt to understand how stuff worked. Sometimes, I succeeded in putting them back together and other times I failed; Most importantly I came to understand how they worked.I love doing what I do because it affords me the opportunity to explore the possibilities, imagine what could be, and make it a reality. As a professional, I breakdown companies, programs, and processes to understand their inner-workings; helping those who are part of it, eliminating waste, and developing better ways of doing things as part of the process. What I do requires as much from me as it does from the stakeholders; I am driven by the opportunity and the challenge to work with a variety of individuals in order to make all the different parts fit together. There is no grater satisfaction than looking back and seeing the process from beginning to end, the before and after, and most importantly the impact from the driven change.My top 5 strengths, based on the Strengths Finder 2.0 assessment, are Competition, Individualization, Achiever, Self-Assurance, and Input. My MBTI is Introversion, Intuition, Thinking, and Perceiving. My Korn Ferry assessment highlights Agility, Striving, and Positivity as my superfactors.I hold my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and my M.S. in Industrial Engineering, both from New Mexico State University. I am a Certified Six Sigma Greenbelt with 4 projects led from beginning to end; 2 using (Re)Design, 1 using PPM, and 1 using VST.
