Summary

Friendly and engaging team player ready to step forward to the next chapter in my life. I have accomplished so much in my years and wore many hats. I was a single parent and server/waitperson, while raising my children. I've been a certified chef, as well as in manager. Also worked in Fast Food Industry. I am not afraid of hard work and I’m loyal. I am able to inspire myself and others to perform their best. Detail oriented and passionate about my work. I'm a great multi-tasker who excels at listening and following directions and I always love a challenge. I decided it was time to return to school, to complete an associate degree in the field of Computer Repair and Support, which I graduated with a 3.18 GPA.

I was the night Supervisor in a coffee shop, also an Assistant Manager at a shoe store. I worked for some time with a small trucking company and equipment leasing company managing their day to day. I am a detail-oriented forklift operator with expertise in safety management and organizational skills. Strong ability to collaborate with teams, streamline processes, and train employees on equipment operation, driving improvements in warehouse efficiency. I want to work somewhere where I can work hard all the hours faithfully and just go home daily. Simplicity that's all
