Summary

As I originally started working in the automotive field of the industry, I learned as much as I was comfortable learning with keeping up the health of your vehicle. I grew into the customer service field of work, working retail for 3-5 years. I wanted to excel my experience with something that can move me up in the work chain. I applied for Buckhead Meat Sysco, I got hired as a Meat Packer operating a Holac Cubixx 120. In 31 days of employment I was promoted to a Machine Operator.

Committed to quality assurance and continuous improvement, I leverage strong mechanical aptitude to drive results in fast-paced environments.
