Summary
I have recently finished my MSHA Surface and Underground certification, and am currently looking for work in that area. I don’t have much experience as of now, but am willing to learn, and hopefully find new career opportunities. I have been involved in several different kinds of work in my past. I currently am working part time as a landscaper for a family owned business, but I am hoping to find employment in the mining industry very quickly. I also have my Mason Helper/Laborer certification, and have done that here and there since receiving it. I have worked in some factories, warehouses, and as a customer service representative in my past. I am a quick learner and have been pretty good at being able to my surroundings pretty quickly in the past. I am somewhat of a fast paced person, and favor working in a pretty fast paced environment.
