Summary

I have owned my own animal rescue for 12 years now and own a small animal transportation business. I have worked in many different atmospheres, many different jobs and love learning new things. Always ready to get the job done with how it needs to be done, fast and efficiently. I have been a manager and team lead with great results from staff and upper management. There has yet to be something I couldn't do or figure out. I have outstanding work ethic and take pride in every job I do.
