I graduated in 2006 from the University of Maine, in Orono, Maine, with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering. I worked as a Process Engineer starting in 2007 with Sappi, a paper mill in Westbrook, Maine--the same mill that I had been interning at for the previous five years. In 2009 I started as a Production Planner in Sappi's supply chain group. Since 2011, I have worked in Saco, Maine at Zajac, LLC, a stainless-steel welding and engineering company. I am one of nine project managers in the engineering department. We specialize in turnkey process piping (mechanical stainless-steel welding, electrical, and automation) for the dairy, brewery, food, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries. I loved my jobs at Sappi and love my position at Zajac, LLC as every job I have ever had has been a perfect combination of leadership development, client interaction, business flow optimization, and technical problem solving--all things that I enjoy.I obtained both my PE license (ME#12629) and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification in 2011 and I have passed the first two of five exams on my way to obtaining APICS CPIM certification. I have also begun logging hours toward obtaining PMI project management certification. I am an ISPE member.I am active in my community through my local church and very dedicated to my family.
