Engineering Leader · Continuous Improvement

Building systems
that perform.

Chemical engineer and operations leader driving measurable results in food manufacturing through Six Sigma methodology, agile project management, and data-driven decision making.

Engineer by training,
leader by practice.

I'm a chemical engineer with deep experience in food manufacturing operations. I specialize in leading cross-functional teams through complex improvement initiatives — turning controllable losses into measurable savings.

Currently serving as CI/OE Team Leader at Kraft Heinz, I manage yield improvement programs across multi-system production environments. My approach combines Six Sigma rigor with agile execution to deliver results at pace.

I'm completing my Master's in Engineering Management at Penn State while actively driving operational excellence on the plant floor — bridging the gap between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
