years of professional experience

Results-driven Production Lead with a proven track record at Eel River Organics, adept at managing teams and optimizing production processes. Recognized for exceptional problem-solving skills and a commitment to cleanliness, I effectively coordinated operations, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality products while leading a crew of 20. I'm experienced in hard manual labor, food-handler's safety, OSHA guidelines, the Metrc database, manufacturing and packaging of retail products, scissor lift operation, and being a crew supervisor. I have no problem taking on labor-intensive jobs, as well as jobs that require more problem-solving and organization.
