At FlexXray my responsibilities include both servicing existing customers/projects as well as to extend the recognition and reach of FlexXray. FlexXray provides world class inspection and recovery services for food companies. We have highly customized machines and processes built specifically to find contaminants like metal, glass, wood, gasket material, stone, plastic, and rubber in food products of all type. We can find contaminants down to 0.8mm. We can also do weighing, repackaging, relabeling, stamping, or other activities that need to take place in order for our customers to get their product out successfully. This inspection process takes place in one of our 3 facilities: Arlington TX, Guilford CT, and now Chicago IL.Our detection limits are far superior to in-line systems. We use medical grade technology, developed in house, running at very slow speeds (3-4ft/min). This technology allows us to detect down to that 0.8mm threshold and smaller. When our customers get “hits” on their in-line metal detectors or x-ray systems, they bracket and quarantine the product to send to us for further inspection. I establish relationships with Quality Control Specialists and Food Safety Administrators to ensure that the product they produce and we inspect is up to the standards/guidelines of FSMA and HACCP. Each job request we encounter is unique, which is why I partner with these individuals to make sure I first understand and then successfully execute the task. Throughout the whole process we will be in constant contact in order to ensure satisfaction.

I graduated from the University of Missouri in May 2014. I attained a bachelor of science in finance and banking as well as receiving a minor in history.

I also enjoyed the student rec center as well as using the other athletic and educational facilities at the University of Missouri.

During my internship at Bunge, I helped the treasury department in both their daily activities as well as current projects they were undertaking. These daily activities included: posting journal entries to SAP, reconciling the U.S. and Canadian previous day's cash management statements, updating Buge's daily debt position, recording F/X trades in SAP and excel, and entering in monthly transaction data. Regarding projects, I was able to assist on a leasing assignment which focused on the leasing structure of the railcar fleet Bunge maintains. Through my time at this internship, I was able to gain valuable real world business expierence from many different areas. One area was the interaction with members of my department as well as superiors. Another being the assignments I was given, which gave me the ability to improve my time management and critical thinking skills.
