Massapequa, New York, United States
I am a results-driven professional with experience in manufacturing excellence, supply chain, and process improvement across both public and private sectors. With an MBA (Summa Cum Laude) from Southeastern Oklahoma State University and a Biology degree (Magna Cum Laude) from UMass Lowell, I bring both analytical rigor and operational leadership to every role. Currently, I serve as a Manufacturing Excellence Manager at Nestlé Health Science, where I lead initiatives that improve efficiency, streamline material flow, and strengthen cross-functional collaboration. My work includes implementing data-driven scheduling models, launching operational review routines (SOR, DOR, WOR), and creating tools that enhance transparency, safety, and productivity. Previously, I have held roles as a Planner, Buyer, and Continuous Innovation Analyst, where I consistently delivered measurable results such as: -Increasing plant throughput by 27% through optimized scheduling. -Saving $21M in inventory by developing smarter supply chain monitoring tools. -Automating countywide systems that saved employees 12.5% of weekly admin time. As a former NCAA Division I Track & Field athlete, I carry forward the discipline, perseverance, and team mindset that defined my collegiate career. I am passionate about transforming data into actionable insights, driving continuous improvement, and collaborating with diverse teams to achieve sustainable results.
