Laborer/processor
Teen Challenge Foundation
Lebanon, Oregon
01.2024 - 01.2025
- I play a pivotal role in supporting individuals in recovery, blending compassionate leadership with practical operations. As a skilled laborer at Teen Challenge Foundation's Super Thrift, I oversee and mentor team members navigating their recovery journey—building trust through peer support, structure, and clear expectations. I also operate the forklift to efficiently move donations and inventory, ensuring smooth flow on the floor and optimizing space usage. Collaborating closely with supervisors and managers, I help devise daily plans and task sequences—like batching similar items for pricing, coordinating loading routes, and aligning manpower—that streamline store processes, reduce bottlenecks, and maximize operational efficiency.
Laborer/operator
Franco Farms
Lacomb, Oregon
09.2011 - 10.2024
- At Franco Farms, I served as a skilled laborer where I regularly operated heavy machinery—such as excavators, tractors, and front-end loaders (none-certified)—to maintain infrastructure, manage land, and ensure smooth operations. Carrying out routine inspections, minor repairs, and preventative maintenance kept equipment dependable and minimized downtime—a critical task in a fast-paced agricultural setting. Alongside machinery operation, I applied metal-fabrication and rough carpentry skills to repair fencing, reinforce livestock structures, fabricate farm-specific tools, and construct durable frames and supports. This blend of heavy equipment expertise and hands-on fabrication enabled me to address diverse, urgent challenges and maintain the farm's functionality efficiently.
