Summary

I consider myself a person that thrives on ensuring employee empowerment and engagement. These elements in my personal experience have always proven to yield success not only in meeting company objectives but also in employee satisfaction. This ideology also provides a platform to allow them to make positive changes in their work environment. As it relates to continuous improvement, I enjoy seeing the pride that team members express when root cause has been identified, and effective mistake proof solutions have been implemented to prevent repeat occurrences to non-conformances.
