At Advanced, we strive to be "collaborative, team players, and fun to work with." To do this, we create a safe environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their ideas, building on ideas, and having honest conversations. Sometimes, we jump to conclusions too fast as individuals. First, we need to take a breath, understand the situation and the relevant information, and then we can start developing a path and a solution. A lot of it starts with listening to each other and being open minded to different solutions. It is through this collaboration that we become team players and ultimately have a lot more fun!
My background is in engineering (B.S. Mechanical Engineering University of MN). I first started as an engineering intern with an injection molding company and eventually became the Tooling Manager. My experience also includes serving as a Manufacturing Engineering Manager at a major medical device OEM.
In coming to Advanced, I am able to leverage my injection molding and medical device experience to help make a difference.
