My role at National Rarities requires me to inspect and authenticate a wide range of antiques, old coins, different types of jewelry, and other valuable items from customers. I am then tasked with giving a reasonable offer based on the current market price for that piece. I travel each week to a new area anywhere in the country during set times we have events scheduled.

During my time at copart it is hard to put in words the responsibilities and task I was required to complete. This was a corporate team that would deploy after or during natural disasters such as hurricanes, flooding, snow, hail, and others. I started as an inventory specialist where I would clean and detail vehicles then take photos/videos of the vehicle; it would then be auctioned off online. Then quickly made the transition to loader operator where I was tasked with the organization of vehicles in the facilities to allow for maximum storage without damaging the car. I would also load different sorts of car haulers, anything from single trailers to 10 car semis also while not damaging the vehicle or truck during loading. A big part of the job was the 90 degree project we would complete throughout different parts of the country. During this we would send out a team to grid out facilities to allow for max capacity then hit 6 inch nails into the ground to form the spots for different vehicles.

While being a package handler for a short time I was in charge of loading multiple trucks during the night shift. While loading the trucks I had to ensure they were organized by route, weight, and size to follow safety protocols and allow for a smooth delivery. I also oversaw employee safety compliance around the facility as a member of the safety committee.

Was a line cook for about 3 and a half years, where I dealt with the preparation of many different options of food during very hectic days. I was able to work efficiently with a team to ensure everything got done properly and up to the standard. Had a great time working there especially because of the good food.
