Moreover, my experience with Six Sigma and Lean initiatives has equipped me with the tools to minimize waste, reduce variation, and enhance overall performance across manufacturing and service industries. Also throughout my 4 years in college I’ve become very experienced in most Microsoft applications, ranging from Microsoft Visio to Microsoft Teams as I’ve used them weekly.

In addition to my analytical skills, I am adept at leveraging data analysis software to extract actionable insights and drive data-informed decision-making. Whether it's utilizing statistical methods for process optimization or predictive modeling for demand forecasting, I am committed to harnessing the power of data to drive organizational success.

Furthermore, my knowledge of manufacturing technologies enables me to design and implement innovative solutions to enhance production efficiency and quality. From automation and robotics to advanced manufacturing processes, I am well-versed in leveraging cutting-edge technologies to stay ahead in today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape.

My areas of interest include supply chain optimization, logistics management, project engineering, quality assurance, and manufacturing process improvement. I am particularly interested in exploring opportunities to leverage emerging technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, and IoT to revolutionize industrial operations and drive sustainable growth. 

As I transition into the workforce, I am eager to apply my skills and expertise to tackle complex challenges and drive continuous improvement in industrial operations. With a passion for innovation and a dedication to excellence, I am poised to make a significant impact in the field of Industrial & Systems Engineering.

As a dedicated Industrial & Systems Engineering professional I possess a strong foundation in operations research, systems engineering, and process optimization, complemented by technical proficiency in engineering mathematics, statistical analysis, CAD, and simulation software. My hands-on experience through projects has allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges, resulting in optimized manufacturing processes and improved operational efficiency. I excel in problem-solving, analytical thinking, project management, and effective communication, having contributed to research projects, published findings, and presented at conferences. My active participation in professional organizations and industry events has further enriched my skills and prepared me for a successful career in industrial and systems engineering. I am best at integrating technical expertise with practical application to drive efficiency and innovation in complex systems.

I earned my degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering from San José State University, where I was deeply involved in several hands-on projects that emphasized practical applications of Lean, Six Sigma, and ISO 9001. Throughout my studies, I worked on projects aimed at optimizing manufacturing processes, reducing waste, and enhancing quality control. I applied Lean methodologies to streamline operations, Six Sigma techniques to minimize variability, and ISO 9001 standards to ensure consistent quality management. These experiences allowed me to tackle real-world challenges and develop a strong skill set in improving efficiency and effectiveness within various systems.
