Summary

I am looking to build on my experience as a team leader. I served four years in the United States Armed Forces, Army. Two years active duty and two years active reserves. My main duties included ordering and maintaining supplies for a company of 70 soldiers as well as maintaining, ordering and repairing weapons for the company. I attended the orthopedic specialist program in San Antonio, Texas when I was in the active reserves. I have been employed at the University of Florida for 35+ years. During that time I have had numerous positions on campus. I worked at the Reitz Union in Guest Services (night auditor), the Department of Anesthesiology in the mailroom, and I am currently employed at the Health Science Center Library as the Circulation Manager. I have over 35 years of Library management and customer service experience. I also worked at Sears for 18 years as a Human Resources specialist and a sales associate.
