Worked as a Paper Maker for 27 years. From Aug - 1996 thru June - 2023 with Pixelle Specialty Solutions in Chillicothe Ohio. Held the position of Operations Coordinator from July - 2010 thru June 2023. Prior to the Ops Coordinators position, I was a shift supervisor from July 2007 thru July 2010. Held hourly positions on 10 Paper Machine in line of progression from Aug - 1996 thru July 2007.
In March of 2024 I accepted a entry level position with Dontar Paper in hopes of obtaining a leadership position where I can apply my 27 years of paper making and hopefully make a difference which is the main goal with any employer who gives me the oppertunity.
Other responsibilities include:

> Be safely efficient using a PIT or Powered Industrial Truck
a) Industrial clamp trucks
b) Dual fork industrial trucks (for moving pallets)

Note:
Since becoming a team member at Domtar, I have trained on several positions during my 4 short months of being employed with them and have certified on both Backstand positions, ( also trained on backstand on 6 Pocket sheeter and am certified there as well). Have been trained on and currently am signing off on Line Tech which is resposible for clearing 2 production lines off of 10 Pocket sheeter. Have also trained on the Pack Techs position where there is resposability for packaging or boxing reams into coreect packaging for sales but I have not completed this training as of yet. The Pack Tech and Operators positions are the only 2 positions I have not certified on in 4 months of employment.
