As a current Project Manager at Phoenix Contact USA, my role revolves around leading IMA/AI initiatives, a natural progression from my 7.5+ years at KCE Industrial Services where problem-solving and manufacturing process improvements were my forte. Penn State University laid the foundation with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, which has been essential in honing my competencies in project planning and executing client-driven, mission-critical deliverables. Working as a Territory Manager at Motor Technology, Inc for a brief period further sharpened my skills, particularly in the realm of operations engineering. At the core, it's the combination of my education and hands-on experience that empowers our team to innovate and drive success in manufacturing.
