ABOUT ME

As a Project Manager at Unicor, I manage projects in the area of corrugated pipe machinery. In addition to managing cross-functional teams within Unicor, I act as the customer’s point of contact, ensuring that their needs and expectations are fully understood and met throughout the project lifecycle.

My journey began when I moved from Venezuela to Germany to complete my Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, specializing in Mechanical Engineering, followed by a Master’s degree in Applied Plastics Technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Schmalkalden.

Before joining Unicor, I had the opportunity to lead a research project at the Institute of Polymer Technology at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg focusing on optical polymers and the challenges of manufacturing achromatic lenses by injection compression molding.

During my studies, I gained experience in the polymer industry through various internships and student jobs, including economic evaluations of post-process automation for injection molded parts and material investigations of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic components using finite element simulation. Through these projects, I have developed a broad skill set that has allowed me to contribute to various aspects of polymer manufacturing.

In addition to my professional and academic work, I like to be actively involved in extracurricular activities, such as leading an event during my time as a student called International Engineering Week 2020, which takes place every year and it is a full week event with lectures and fun afternoon activities with international professors and students. My efforts at the University of Applied Sciences Schmalkalden earned me the DAAD 2020 Award for Academic Excellence and Social Engagement.
