I am a proactive and results-driven Maintenance Supervisor with over 15 years of experience leading maintenance operations, optimizing industrial processes, and coordinating cross-functional teams in high-volume manufacturing environments. I specialize in preventive maintenance strategies, SAP CMMS implementation, and regulatory compliance, ensuring efficient asset utilization and minimal downtime.

In my current role, I supervise rotating maintenance teams across four shifts, ensuring the smooth operation and repair of bakery equipment in a 1-million-square-foot facility. I have successfully developed and implemented SOPs, led LOTO and permitting compliance efforts, and improved equipment uptime by 35% through strategic maintenance initiatives. Additionally, I have evaluated and trained maintenance employees, fostering a culture of safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement.

My expertise includes automation, electrical, mechanical, and robotic systems, with experience working with PLC programming, HMI, SCADA, and industrial control systems. I have led SAP CMMS rollouts, improved maintenance tracking, and optimized maintenance budgets, reducing costs by 20% year over year.

I thrive in fast-paced, high-demand environments and take pride in building strong teams, enforcing safety protocols, and driving operational efficiency. I am eager to leverage my experience in maintenance coordination, leadership, and process optimization to contribute to a dynamic and forward-thinking organization.

I hold a Certified Maintenance Manager credential from the National Center for Housing Management, equipping me with advanced knowledge in maintenance operations, safety compliance, and facility management. Additionally, I am OSHA Forklift Train the Trainer certified (2025-2028), allowing me to train and certify employees in safe material handling and forklift operation. My background also includes a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Michigan State University, which has strengthened my analytical and problem-solving skills in maintenance planning, process optimization, and team leadership.
