From Nuclear Test Engineering, to Supply Chain, to stay-at-home parenting, and now to Semiconductor Equipment manufacturing, I have enjoyed a broad range of professional experiences. Practical communication, to real people, is where I thrive. I received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Idaho in May of 2010, and completed a rigorous Naval Nuclear Propulsion Test-Engineer school in 2013, equivalent to a post-graduate program. From there I moved to a supply-chain related engineering position, before pausing my professional career to become the at-home caretaker for my two wonderful daughters. I now work in semiconductor equipment manufacturing for a rapidly growing Applied Materials business unit in Montana. What all my positions have had in common is enabling me to work with a great variety of people and moving pieces across dynamic and diverse organizations in order to complete projects. I am people oriented, always trying to connect the work to the goals and growth of the organization. I have skills in manufacturing process troubleshooting, intuitive root cause investigation, material cost analysis, mentorship, and more. I've been involved with a wide variety of manufacturing methods and equipment from CNC bending, autogenous stainless tube welding and clean-room manufacturing to roto-molding, thermoforming, and FDM additive manufacturing. I am very quick to pick up new concepts and to understand the concerns involved. I believe positive morale is critical to a productive workplace, and that's accomplished by clear instructions, empowering people to solve problems and develop their skills, recognizing and mitigating toxic behaviors, and simply making the effort to connect with people.
