Summary
Skilled team player with strong background in industrial environment as well as customer relations. Works well independently and with others to handle assignments and always ready to go beyond. Quick learner with excellent computer and communication skills. Always excited to start something new and see where it takes me. I was previously employed with the cement company in Glens Falls for almost 5 years but they came to the decision being 130 years old and having newer other facilities to handle the customer base they closed their doors and 88 of us had to find employment elsewhere.
