Summary

Throughout my career being in a leadership role, I have demonstrated the values and expectations of being a leader in any shipping & receiving, material handling and warehousing environment. I put a lot of hard work and dedication in my job each day and I feel that it always bring out the best in me.

I have started out as simple warehouse associate working my way up to becoming a leader. I have now achieved my goal and always looking to pursue more and take on more responsibilities. I feel that every leader will have times where they become overwhelmed and the responsibilities is too much. But that is what makes a leader lead by example and overcome stressful challenges in any work environment. I am always open to take on challenges prove my worth to the company.

I have served in the Army through the Army National Guard from May 2011 to August 2017. I learned several skills while being in the military including; discipline, attention to detail, being at the right place at the right time in the right uniform, and respecting your superiors doing what you are told in an orderly and timely manner. I can bring all these skills to any workplace environment
