Summary
At Lowe's Home Improvement, I excelled as a Paint Department Associate by mastering precise color matching and resolving customer complaints, boosting repeat business. Demonstrating exceptional problem-solving abilities allowed customers to trust in my collogues and I. My proactive approach and ability to establish customer rapport highlight my dedication and expertise. Skilled in Power equipment such as the Narrow Isle Reach and Order Picker allowed me to perform under pressure when retrieving pallets from tight and tricky positions.
Attending Palomar College Welding program allowed me to confidently setup most welding machine weather it be SMAW or FCAW. Commitment to safety is the top priority that will transfer to any everyday activity and jobsite. Successfully reading WPS's and blueprints allow for proper joint fit up and prep. I believe that this has allowed me to pass numerous bend tests.
