I am such an interesting and quite unique individual, just like everyone else in this world. ;-)While quiet, collected, and extremely detailed, I am also sometimes too vocal, too judgmental, and too quick to react. I want to be perfect but am not. I am self-conscious; I feel I never have the right things to say, or I am not doing the right things, or do not communicate enough. I am constantly judging every aspect of myself.Career-wise, I'm a dedicated, focused, and passionate Automotive Engineering professional with 27+ years of experience in Product Development, Safety, & Field Operations, with a MBA focused in Project Management. I consistently take on new and incrementally more challenging assignments. I'm able to exercise independent judgment with minimal input from supervisors and manage very broad and numerous projects with a high degree of difficulty.I am so happy with where I'm at professionally.Breaking down my 27+ year Automotive career further into various technical competencies, my experience includes:• 20+ Electrical Engineering and Product Development; specializing in Electrical Controls & Diagnostics• 19+ Electric Vehicle (EV) Technology• 18+ Vehicle Maintenance & Repair and Service Engineering• 15+ Leadership and Mentoring• 13+ Passive Safety Engineering; Crash, Airbag Controls, Occupant/Pedestrian Detection and Protection• 13+ Engineering & Service BOM / Vehicle Variant Management• 12+ Product Safety, Investigations, & Field Actions• 6+ Fleet Operations• 6+ Autonomous Vehicle (AV) Technology• 2.5+ Direct Team/Organizational ManagementI'm highly skilled in Product Design, Design for Service (DFS), Electrical System Diagnostics, Product Investigation, Field Analysis, Root Cause Analysis, Containment, Continuous Improvement, and Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA).I always put Safety and our Customers First, and desire career opportunities where I can share in the achievement of company goals while utilizing and expanding my technical and leadership knowledge.Personally, I struggle with the same human issues that everyone deals with daily. I feel unorganized, unknowledgeable, and confused on how to navigate my daily tasks, my career, and life in general. Remember, we can all be successful, within our own path in life, regardless of our personal obstacles! I really do care for us (humans, animals, plants, extraterrestrials, etc.) and for our future! I make fundamental business and life decisions based on science and data. I am human, and I try hard to keep a smile on my face every day :-)
