Summary

I am a very open and adaptable person that is willing to do whatever it takes for the team to succeed. I'm the type of person that always wants to help over being helped. I went to school to be a Doctor of Chiropractic so helping people be their better selves is what I love to do. I am always looking for things to make it easier and more efficient for everybody and the team. I am always willing to try new things or do different jobs if need be. I've also began as a regular associate in the past but have grown in each company to take on more responsibility. I am an experienced and dependable general worker with a proven track record of efficiently completing tasks in various settings. Skilled in manual labor, equipment operation, and maintaining a clean and organized workspace. Safety-conscious with a strong work ethic and the ability to adapt to different environments. Ready to contribute to a dynamic team and make a positive impact.
