At Baxter Healthcare, my role as a Laboratory Technician involved executing test plans for medical devices, ensuring FDA and cGMP compliance, manage equipment calibration, and managing complex projects. My contributions earned me the BaxSTAR Award in 2022 for enhancing operational efficiency and value creation.Before moving into technical and project management roles, I spent two decades as a licensed cosmetologist, where I honed skills in staff supervision, dynamic scheduling, and customer service. I also engaged in career coaching, mentoring staff, and overseeing their professional development. This experience enhanced my abilities in balancing staff availability with customer demand and managing daily operations.I am currently pursuing PMI certification to further bolster my project management expertise. My diverse experience provides me with a unique perspective and comprehensive skill set, which I am eager to apply to new challenges and opportunities.
