Summary

Proven MIG Welder and Forklift Operator with a track record of enhancing production efficiency and workplace safety at CURT Manufacturing By Lippert. Skilled in blueprint reading and fostering team collaboration, I excel in competitive environments, consistently surpassing goals through a strong work ethic and meticulous machinery inspection.


I was selected to travel to two of our Ranch Hand welding and Fab locations in Beeville and Shiner Texas for 11 months 2022-2023 to help with training and meeting production goals. It was truly an adventure working with new team members and challenging my ability to communicate with language barriers to meet these goals and represent our team from Curt respectfully and professionally.
