ABOUT NATALIA GONZALEZ

With over 8 years of experience in the energy and environmental testing industries, I have developed a strong background in asset integrity, quality assurance, and laboratory management. My career journey has taken me from Colombia to Canada, where I\'ve consistently demonstrated my ability to improve processes, implement standards, and lead teams to success.Currently, as an Asset Integrity Specialist Jr. and QA Representative at Vysus Group in Canada, I focus on implementing Risk-Based Inspection Programs and conducting corrosion studies. My expertise lies in compliance with international standards such as API 653, API 510, and API 570. I\'ve successfully gathered and managed critical data for RBI processes, contributing to effective asset management strategies.Prior to my current role, I served as a Quality Assurance Specialist at Bureau Veritas Group, where I led various QA initiatives and significantly improved efficiency in quality control processes. My tenure at Bureau Veritas also included a position as Laboratory Supervisor at the Kearl Oil Sands Site, where I oversaw a team of analysts and specialists. During this time, I developed the Best Laboratory Practices program, which led to a 90% reduction in turnaround times for critical tests and a 68% reduction in non-conformances.My experience extends to roles at QCC-Perfect Delivery Canada, where I implemented Good Manufacturing Practices and achieved top audit scores, and positions in Colombia where I led laboratory accreditation processes and implemented quality management systems.Throughout my career, I\'ve consistently demonstrated my ability to improve operational efficiency, reduce non-conformances, and maintain high safety standards. My multilingual skills and international experience provide me with a global perspective that enhances my problem-solving abilities and adaptability in diverse work environments.
