Summary

I am a motivated individual with over a year of experience in the U.S. Navy. During my time of service in the US Navy, I served on the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), where I handled high responsibility and high-risk tasks involving missiles, firearms, ammunition, and flares. My military service has strengthened my teamwork, communication, and leadership skills, while instilling a strong sense of structure, reliability, work ethic, and motivation.

In addition to my military background, I have hands-on experience in both the food service and retail industries. My time working in restaurants, a gas station, and currently in a Paint Sales Associate position has taught me how to thrive and have patience in fast-paced environments, deliver excellent customer service, understand the daily operations of a restaurant, improve my organizational skills, and improve my attention to detail.

I am currently attending welding school, where I am getting hands-on experience, further developing my professionalism, knowledge, and getting more in the routine of safety and accountability. I enjoy the hands on learning and hope to expand my education further. I'm now seeking opportunities where I can apply my diverse skill set in another career.
