Growing leader within the medical device community. I am dedicated to the development and lifecycle maintenance of medical devices that are safe, effective, and perform as intended by the user. All while ensuring that it’s done with an eye for efficiency. I love leading teams and cross-functional contributors—both on my team and others—through tough moments of problem-solving by establishing clear and consistent communication, building understanding, providing perspective, and creating a vision that people can follow as they dive into the nuts and bolts of their work. Done well, I’ve seen this lead to better alignment among teams and stakeholders, improved collaboration, increased consistency in the work being completed, and genuine satisfaction in the job being done.Background as an Engineer with R&D and Design Assurance experience in the medical device, OTC drug, and cosmetic industry.
