Career

One program. A new role every year.

Every twelve months, my rotational program moves me to a new job in a new city. Each move means learning a new role, a new team, and a new site fast, and that flexibility is what I'm building.

Xylem

Operations Leadership Development Program · Sept 2025 – Present

  1. Rotation 01 Buffalo, NY

    Continuous improvement

    Mapped how work and material move through the plant, to improve inventory accuracy and plan ahead for moving a whole value stream to a new part of the building.

    3 maps built: two process maps and a process flow map
  2. Rotation 02 · Now Yellow Springs, OH

    Strategic sourcing

    Buying smarter. Sometimes the pricier part wins, because it saves more in labor time than it costs.

    1 → 2 moving sole-sourced parts to dual suppliers to cut supply risk
Alongside the rotations · Since July 2026
