Summary

I am a high achieving and experienced Quality Systems Technician with almost 8 years experience at Trane Technologies. I am a well of knowledge in all products we produce here in Lynn Haven. For example, in 2023 I was chosen to lead the training and development of a product that was transitioned to Mexico.

My long term goal is centered on working for this company for many years to come to help break the ground with new ideas, new targets, and new products. I am passionate and motivated about the work I do for our customers and will always keep them, and the company at the forefront of everything I do. I am the type of person that will take ownership of my professional development to ensure I add value to my team. I feel I have reached my full potential in my current role and I am eager to progress and overcome any challenge that stands in my way.
