Self motivated individual who always strives to be the best at what I do. I continue to work everyday to improve myself at my job and I'm always ready to learn a new skill. I'm always ready for a challenge and I enjoy the problem solving aspect of my job. Always ready to be sure safety is the number one part of my day.
