Summary

I am a highly-motivated employee with a desire to take on new challenges. I have a strong work ethic and I am not afraid of overtime or learning new functions necessary for competing any task. I am highly adaptable to new challenges with the right information on tasks and have exceptional interpersonal skills, with detail oriented communication. I have many years of customer service, receiving and shipping knowledge with plenty of leadership and trainer experience for each task. I actively work with Microsoft Office daily and work to keep inventory reports accurate in processes where inventory must be adjusted for accuracy, making sure purchasing and shipping reports are correct. Having had years of First Aid, CPR and emergency preparedness training, I always work to ensure a safe work environment, always adhering to work instruction and local regulation laws as needed.
