Summary

Skilled in preventive machine maintenance and adept at fostering team efficiency, I significantly enhanced production quality and reduced material waste at KBR. By mastering new software for advanced CNC operations and mentoring junior operators, I achieved a notable increase in operational standards, demonstrating both technical expertise and leadership. Before entering my current field, I performed shelf stocking for roughly five years before going into into management, and shortly after became a manager for walmart. I provided customer service, not only to the the ones who needed help on the sales floor, but the customer service deck and different departments. Also making sure the associates where completing the tasks that needed to be done during the shift.
