Summary
Dependable ramp process assistant/load planner. I take my job as a leader seriously. When I started with Amazon Air I strive to hold high standards for myself. I applied to be an ambassador so I can coach others. I trained two rounds of new hires. A couple associates became ambassadors themselves. When I became a load planner I continued my coaching with helping newly hired load planners learn there new role. ) My job continues to change every day. I strive to improve myself to be better than the day before. I learn from my mistakes and try not to repeat them. I am continuously asking questions and searching for answers.
