Six Sigma Certified Process Development Leader offering 15+ years of experience improving processes within the manufacturing sector. Known as an authority in identifying process gaps and cutting costs while simultaneously lifting quality. Driven, analytical, and hands-on with a proven career reflecting strong leadership experience that motivates cross-functional teams and rallies support of senior executives. Six-sigma certified with history of reducing bottlenecks, optimizing production, and eliminating expensive delays. Throughout my career, I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of the diverse problems that come up in the complex process of producing products. With a keen eye for opportunities to increase operational excellence and implement continuous improvement initiatives, I’m able to improve product quality while also driving cost and waste reductions. I’ve had a lengthy and successful career with the company, starting out as a Production Coordinator, and moving up through four promotions. Before my Process Health position, I was the Operational Excellence Manager. Regardless of the role, I’ve always applied my strong work ethic—I grew up on a farm—to exceed the company’s goals. Outside of my job, I like to golf, snowmobile, and work on a hobby farm with my father. I’m involved with 4H and my children’s sports, and I enjoy coaching a T-ball team.
