Introducing...

Thank you very much for accessing this information. Please review my resume, so you can match it with interesting career opportunities that could fit my background and experience.

I possess a strong background in process engineering and integration, project management, manufacturing and e-business, and would like to put my skills and global experience to work for future-oriented company in the Oklahoma City area, or beyond.

As you will notice on the resume, I worked for AT&T and Lucent Technologies for over fourteen years. During this time, I have worked with cutting-edge technology and have gained experience in a variety of roles. Most recently, I have been working with a configurator design team to improve the efficiency of Lucent's switch sales, manufacturing, and installation activities. I participated in the start-up activities of four global switch manufacturing plants and the support of many others, handling tasks such as site analysis, business case development, facility layout, system architecture, production scheduling, floor layout, equipment procurement and efficiency analysis.

In addition to a strong background in manufacturing, I also possess excellent computer skills and have created processes and software tools to improve efficiency. Several web based tools that I made have been implemented by various Lucent entities worldwide, including some that improve the engineering and installation processes.

I have management experience and strong interpersonal and coaching skills. I am fluent in three languages, and have lived and worked in many culturally diverse areas of the world during my tenure with Lucent. One of my specialties is improving efficiency and managing change in cross-organizational environments, dealing with both technology and people issues.
