I have been a successful contributor in the automotive industry on both sides of the coin; in a fast-paced vehicle manufacturing environment and in vehicle systems design. Throughout my 7 years in the field, I've fine-tuned my skills in quick decision problem solving, teamwork within cross-functional groups, and vehicle system structure and troubleshooting. I am eager to merge both sides of my experience in one challenging but exciting role at GM.
