Avp Of Quality
CurrentI began my career in the plastics industry at Hermann's Warehouse in South Brunswick, NJ, where I spent 24 years learning the ins and outs of packaging and warehousing plastics. Those years were invaluable, providing a strong foundation for my career in this field.In 2009, I took a leap and joined Plastic Express, leaving behind a comfortable role and close friendships to embrace new challenges and opportunities for growth. Starting as a Production Manager at the Edison, NJ warehouse, I soon took on greater responsibilities. In 2013, after a particularly challenging medical audit, I was tasked with building a Quality program and achieving ISO certification for both our New Jersey site and our headquarters in City of Industry, CA. In early 2016, both locations had successfully obtained ISO certification, and this achievement earned me a promotion to Quality Manager.Since then, I’ve been at the helm of the Quality program at Plastic Express, most recently as part of the newly established Compliance Team. My responsibilities center around continuously enhancing our Quality Management System (QMS), expanding and maintaining the ISO Certification program, overseeing the customer complaint process, managing our controlled document library, and conducting as well as supervising audits. I am also dedicated to driving continuous improvement initiatives that ensure we meet and exceed the highest quality standards. Recently, I successfully led the effort to secure an Ecovadis Commitment Badge, and my next objective is to achieve CTPAT certification.In 2023, I was promoted to AVP of Quality. Over the years, I’ve guided Plastic Express through ISO certification for 11 sites, with two more nearing completion, including one of our largest and newest facilities in Pooler, GA. I’m proud to contribute to a team that prioritizes operational excellence and continuous improvement as we continue to grow and evolve.
