Competence, Integrity, and Teamwork

I support product development by working with engineering, marketing, manufacturing, sales, and external clients in various technical and communication capacities. Typical tasks include the items to the right on this page.

I’m able to confidently communicate complex ideas and translate “over the fence” between managers, engineers, designers, and customers (both internal and external).

And because of my natural aptitude, I’m able to easily adapt to new situations and quickly learn how to use new tools. Please view my portfolio for tangible work examples.
