About

As a Quality Assurance professional at Boeing, I apply my aerospace expertise to review and validate product non-conformances and quality procedures. I perform analysis to identify and evaluate the quality of products, operations, and processes, ensuring compliance with Quality Management System requirements, company procedures, contract requirements, and government regulations. I also train and mentor fellow employees in the Quality Management System and perform root cause analysis on nonconformances to prevent reoccurrence. I have experience as a Manufacturing Analyst at Boeing, where I applied my aerospace knowledge to perform failure and forensic analysis of aerospace components and systems. I also coordinated and oversaw shipside manufacturing operational issues and activities that affected production cycle time, quality, and efficiency. Previously, I was a Team Lead/Temp Manager at Boeing, where I led process improvements, developed and executed business plans and policies, provided training and coaching on quality systems, and made airworthiness determinations on behalf of the company and regulatory agencies. I hold a Business degree from Bellevue College and have skills in data analysis, quality assurance, and quality management.
