As the Laboratory Supervisor I achieved many important objectives for Chevron, including planning and hosting an EPA audit, providing consultation on designing and building a new lab, and moving the lab services to the new location. During my time as Lab Supervisor I focused on safety systems, transition to digital, visual management, and improved quality systems. In cooperation with Operations I have led the lab to help reduce octane and RVP giveaway through use of available technology that increased statistical likelihood of blending to correct targets.

As a lab and quality system SME and Manager for two refineries, I achieved multiple improvements in the refinery and lab quality system, including QC parameters and process control metrics using SPC, calibration programs, training and procedures. I was directly responsible for chemical treatment and additives throughout the refinery, completing numerous projects that resulted in over $250,000 in annual savings. I worked to ensure adherence to state and federal regulations, strengthen data gathering and analysis, and developed metrics to track process and lab quality, personnel training, and equipment reliability.
