Summary
Through growth in my professional career, I consider myself a well-rounded and versatile employee. I evolved from an entry-level employee to a production supervisor, writing specifications, engineering to specification and meeting with important clients to ensure their confidence in working with our company. Speaking to clients on the phone, meeting with clients in person on site visits and meeting with executive level employees of hotel brands such as Wyndham and Choice have contributed to the development of my customer relations skills. During my position as Engineering Manger over the past 12 years I have managed 2-6 employees. I am proficient in establishing competitive pricing and quoting custom projects. I am proficient in design software, such as AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor and have experience with Solid Works.
