Summary
I have been working at some compacity since I was 16 years old. I take great pride in showing up on time everyday and making every attempt to perform to the company’s or individual’s standards. I believe that while my experience in industrial environments has helped me develop a skillset, my eagerness to continue to improve and learn from others more experienced than myself will help me fit into any industrial or manufacturing setting.
