Summary
Throughout my years of working, I determinedly learned new techniques such as people skills & communicating. I also learned organization and keeping trace of items in order to complete the task at hand. I also am very familiar with visual inspection of pieces of metal such as airplane propellers & generator parts. As i inspected i entered information for customers to keep track of the process while keeping track of information to ship off all the items which often required me to lift 60 Ibs or more. Currently I work at Newport News Shipbuilding dealing with metal and fitting foundations and inspecting to see if rework should be done. I receive knowledge and love to continuously grow.
