Summary
Relocated from Lempira, Honduras in 2020 where I began to develop my trade starting as a production worker for COSAGUAL-Cafe of Honduras.
I enjoy working on a team and take pride in my craft and punctuality and responsibilities. I pride myself in avoiding conflict as well as resolving it to the best of my ability it when it does occur.
I am looking for opportunity with an employer where there is room for growth, specifically looking for an employer who can sponsor me for affiliation with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters Industrial Local 2055.
