 Achieved improved precision and accuracy of carbon/sulfur analyses from LECO determinator. Consulted with Metallurgist, researched and acquired available reference materials in range of desired concentrations, and constructed carbon/sulfur regression curves such that both unknown and check sample analyses results fall within a tighter bracket/range. Improved the control and metering of sub-standard/scrap raw material in the melt cycle and fewer process upsets from impurities was achieved. Given responsibility to develop methods for existing and new Fe, Ni, and Co based alloys on newly acquired ICP spectrometer. Achieved greater accuracy & precision of results, improved efficiency in usage of raw materials, and better utilization of QA technicians efforts across multiple, simultaneous tasks. Elected to attend training for newly acquired Microwave Accelerated Digestion System and subsequently create a new controlled, documented procedure to support proper use of instrument and the training program for QA technicians.ISO Auditor and Lead Auditor (2014-2021), ISO Document Control (2018-Present) Select audit team and conduct Internal audits of ISO 9001 and 14001 standards. Summarize findings in PowerPoint format and submit to the Business Leadership Team.Achieve order and compliance with ISO standard by maintaining the current collection of documented procedures, work instructions, forms, etc via use of in-house database application along with tracking and reporting of document submissions, new and revised, to support weekly and monthly progress and content review reports.

 Performed magnetic, physical, and chemical analyses of amorphous/nanocrystalline ribbon. Achieved full qualification in magnetic/physical testing and chemical analysis.

 Maintenance/Reliability Specialist with Indcon to expand business in assigned territory over nine months. Held multiple, simultaneous positions with Keystone, JCP, and CPM over extended job search interval. Period of holding down multiple jobs honed abilities in resourcefulness, resilience, time management, and EQ (Emotional Intelligence - ability to reflect and react to multiple personality types).

Process Optimization & Management Project leader to initiate and coordinate efforts to improve yield of raw material by implementing a rigorous QA monitoring system & necessary feedback to suppliers. Collaborated with personnel at plant, division, and corporate levels, and with suppliers. This achieved a one-year benefit of $1.5 million reduction in raw material and chemical costs. Trial leader in evaluation of mechanical and chemical applications to reduce losses of chemicals, raw material/stock, and decrease process upsets. Achieved a $48K benefit over a one-year period and a 30% increase in process run time due to decreased upsets. Collaborated with team to maintain product strength and optimize use of raw refined stock material via in-line fiber orientation/manipulation measure. Achieved reduction in wood fiber usage, in two products, by 2 to 4 lbs/1000 sq ft, while improving compression strength of finished paperboard product.Technical Support Achieved successful placement of analytical instrument for testing chemical potentcy and developed a training program for operators. Equipment was evaluated for potential faults and if found, these were corrected. Training sessions were conducted for area operators affected by implementation. Achieved reduced chemical losses and shocks to plant effluent treatment system via development of effluent monitoring system to provide early alert to chemical spills around the plant site. Collaborated with various operations personnel to determine strategic locations for early-warning sensors. Developed and conducted training to equip operators with vital knowledge in use of early alert system. Supervision Regularly supervise 16 QA technicians by coordinating routine and special testing, staffing crews, conducting performance evaluations, monthly safety meetings, and training in use of computer software and testing equipment.
