Development engineer in a released product engineering (RPE) group for general surgery technologies. My product stability projects support backorder reduction, capacity increase, supplier changes, and line down issues. My quality/reliability projects address product performance trends and CAPAs.

In addition to my responsibilities as an Engineer 1, I developed and troubleshot comprehensive fixtures and tests that challenge product specifications and thus enhance product reliability. I validated test methods through systematic experimentation, meticulous data analysis, and robust statistical tools, resulting in an improvement in testing repeatability. I also led validation processes for critical testing equipment, adhering to Medtronic's quality standards, resulting in successful equipment/installation qualification.

I completed testing of surgical instruments using Instron mechanical testers and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to support new product development (NPD), sustaining, operational, and marketing efforts.I also acted as a subject matter expert for an NPD team to ensure compliance with internal SOPs, which led to the implementation of fixture and method improvements after leading their design verification testing.Lastly, I advised a senior design team from Quinnipiac University as they created a robotic platform that ties overhand knots into sutures, thus simplifying test methods and decreasing product time to market.

I researched and documented strategies for developing improved synthetic tissue scaffolds via electrospinning by conducting comparative supplier studies.I conducted root cause analyses using nanoscale tools (i.e., SEM and XPS) to investigate the effects of plasma treatment on surface morphology and atomic composition, which led to FDA approval of the company's first investigational new drug application.

I coordinated and executed Multiply Your Options, a biannual STEM conference for over 500 middle school girls, including workshop development and volunteer management. I also assisted in the organization of other enrichment programs that span from middle school to higher learning to increase interest in the engineering fields.Vergano Institute of Inclusion (VII) is formerly known as the Engineering Diversity and Outreach Center (EDOC).

I co-founded SPARK, an all-girls camp, intending to ignite the next generation of women in STEM by providing opportunities for creative problem-solving. With the aid of my team, I conceptualized and implemented camp curricula that included coding, robotics, and 3D printing.

I mentored students of underrepresented backgrounds in engineering by providing them with tools to be successful in their first year of college. I tutored physics and calculus but also acted as a resource for chemistry and computer science to help students better understand lectures and class objectives.
