Summary
I’m a Highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. I can effectively work unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills. I’m always willing to learn new skills.
I have been with Upper Darby School District for 13 years, as well as living in the community.
I have built relationships and trust among my peers, as well as my supervisor and dispatchers, during my non driving duties I have been helping as a dispatcher, doing payroll, assigning drivers routing assignments, buses and noon runs, as well as learning the bus and van fleet.
I’m also talking to the mechanics so I can get a better understanding about our fleet of vehicles.
