As a Quality Engineer at STS Aerospace, I focus on bridging the gap between quality assurance and technical requirements while supporting alignment between product conformance, compliance, cost awareness, and production goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in my quality career, I was given advice that became foundational to my approach: \u201ctrust but verify.\u201d Over time, that guidance shaped how I approach quality: asking why, understanding the intent behind requirements, and making sure our processes truly support the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That mindset has guided my growth from Inspector to Designated Supplier Quality Representative to Quality Engineer, and continues to drive how I support our teams, customers, production, and value streams today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I work closely with manufacturing, engineering, planning, and quality through our cross-functional Quality Clinic and High Performance Production Team to resolve complex issues, support production, and drive continuous improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also currently pursuing my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering Technology to strengthen the technical foundation behind my quality decisions and better support engineering requirements, production needs, and business goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core Focus Areas <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AS9102 Compliance<\/strong>
Creating, reviewing, and supporting FAIRs to ensure complete, accurate, and compliant First Article documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RCCA and 8D Problem Solving
<\/strong>Leading and supporting investigations to identify causes, reduce recurrence, and strengthen quality performance across the value stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training and Cross-Functional Collaboration<\/strong>
Helping align internal teams, customers, sister-company partners, and production teams on technical requirements, quality standards, and process expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuous Improvement
<\/strong>Using a practical, requirements-based approach to simplify complex information, strengthen alignment, and support better outcomes across internal teams, customers, suppliers, and production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
