Summary

I am a very hard worker and a very quick learner at whatever it is that I put my mind to. Most of my past jobs I learned more skills by watching others work and picking up on new things. I get along with others and seem to make the work environment a fun but safe place by just being me. I have had a lot of R.V Manufacturing experience but am willing and wanting to step away from that type of work and business all together. I am willing to learn new things and have always wanted to work closely with people. In my near future I am wanting to get my Bachelors in Science for Psychology to be a substance abuse therapist. I feel that since I am a good listener and want to help others I could benefit from this and so could others. I recently had hernia mesh surgery and feel that my current job may be too much for me, since this was a work related injury. I love my current job but with having to learn how to lift differently, I feel I should find something else. My main concern is that my health matters to me and my children and my current job is becoming too much with hours and too much continus lifting into and out of a box truck for 50 plus hours
