Problem Solver/Lead
Home Goods Distribution Center

- With over 20 months in both Receiving and Lay Up, I’ve developed strong problem-solving skills across multiple departments. In Receiving, I handled unloading, sorting by purchase order and style, and resolving issues like damaged merchandise or receiving errors through coordination with Inventory Control and other teams. In Lay Up, I inspect product quality and verify order accuracy, using my Receiving knowledge to trace and resolve discrepancies. My cross-functional experience allows me to quickly identify root causes, whether on the dock or in inventory, and collaborate effectively to prevent and fix issues. I mentored team members, fostering skill development and improving overall team performance. Developed training materials for onboarding new staff, promoting best practices in warehouse operations.
