Summary
I attended East Los Angeles Center in 2015 with a goal to become a Journeyman Lineman. After succeeding high school, I have constantly worked throughout Local Union 47 I.B.E.W. to gain experienced that will lead me to accomplish my goal. I am a very motivated worker with a strong work ethic and work very well with others to safely complete a job with craftsmanship.
