Summary

I have worked in a warehouse production environment for my entire career. I am certified as a forklift operator, and have proficiently operated one since I was sixteen years old. I am familiar with the production type environment, assembly, and warehousing.


I am a quick learner, willing to learn, efficient, reliable, and productive practices. I am a genuine people person, easy to work with, focused on my tasks at hand, and have a strong work ethic.


The gaps in my history can easily be explained in an interview. Looking forward to speaking with you.
