I began my career as a Produce Clerk at Smart & Final, where I spent over three years developing organizational skills, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic. I then advanced into an HVAC warehouse position at ACPRO, gaining three years of experience in logistics, inventory, and working closely with contractors. Building on this foundation, I pursued my interest in renewable energy and electrical work by joining the solar industry as an electrician apprentice, where I gained practical knowledge of wiring, installations, and safety practices. Most recently, I worked at JBT/Oshkosh at LAX for two years, supporting ground equipment operations, troubleshooting, and maintenance in a fast-paced environment.
Looking ahead, I see my career continuing to grow in the electrical/mechanical field. My past experiences have given me the tools to succeed today—organization, problem-solving, technical skills. I am eager to join a company where I can continue developing my skills, contribute to important projects, and take on greater responsibilities as I advance in my trade.
As produce clerk my responsibility was to ensure the produce department is well-stocked, clean, fresh, and inviting for customers. Typical duties include:
• Stocking & Rotation: Unloading deliveries, stocking fruits and vegetables, rotating items to maintain freshness, and removing expired or damaged products.
• Customer Service: Assisting shoppers with questions, locating items, and providing recommendations.
• Quality Control: Inspecting produce for quality, ripeness, and appearance to meet store standards.
• Merchandising: Setting up displays, arranging produce attractively, and maintaining signage and pricing.
• Cleaning & Safety: Keeping work areas, coolers, and displays clean and sanitized; following food safety and handling guidelines.
• Teamwork: Supporting coworkers and assisting other departments when needed
