PSU/Back-up PT
SARGENTO FOODS INC. KIEL
Kiel, WI
11.2010 - 07.2016
- I performed duties in the Shreds Department and worked the second shift at the Kiel Plant. Initially hired as a Heavy Duty Utility worker, I learned about Food Safety Requirements and Cheese Handling Procedures. My responsibilities included placing 40-pound blocks of cheese on production lines for shredding and packaging, ensuring the smooth operation of production lines, and preventing any foreign materials from affecting the process. Quality control was a significant part of my role; I worked on the inspection lines, supervising the packaging of cheese for shipment. I was promoted to Back-up Process Technician, a role that involved overseeing the production line, managing employees, and ensuring smooth operations, such as verifying the correct cheese, seasoning/additives, packaging film, and checking boxes, labels, and shred type for quality issues. This position came with considerable responsibility, which I proudly accepted. However, due to illness, I had to take a leave of absence, leading to my termination (in good standing) from Sargento. I am open to discussing this further during an interview.

Assistant Manager/Sales Rep and Distributor
PARKER JOHNS/MILLHOME SUPPER CLUB
Kiel, WI
10.2007 - 08.2010
- As the assistant manager of the newly opened Parker John's Restaurant in Kiel, I was tasked with training new staff, managing schedules, and supporting the General Manager in all operational aspects of the restaurant. My responsibilities spanned from ordering and staffing to cleaning, customer care, food quality, and ensuring overall guest satisfaction. Additionally, I was the organizer of all the children's birthday parties and school reading programs associated with PJ's. On days when PJ's was closed, I served guests at Millhome Supper Club, which had the same owners at the time. Subsequently, I took on the role of head of the frozen pizza division at Parker John's, acting as the sole sales representative and distributor for the 50 accounts we maintained. This role demanded significant responsibility and extensive hours, which limited my time with my young children. Due to the modest pay, I decided to pursue other employment opportunities that provided more time with my daughters.
