Summary

Seasoned Supervisor highly effective at understanding and applying instructions to complete safe and efficient work. Proficient in verbal and written communication and basic mathematical calculations. Dedicated abilities and over 11 years of experience. Self motivated, hard working, eager to learn, and safety conscious. Proven leader with the ability to motivate people to work as a team. Nothing more satisfying than helping and encouraging other reach their potential. Team unity is as important to safety as it is for production. I have an understanding that everyone is different, they learn differently, and not all are motivated by the same things. This helped me develop a wide range of skills to better perform as a Supervisor and Manager. SAFETY is a must. I believe in being the best at everything I do. Reliable coworker everyone knows they can depend on to help and look out for their safety. Any and everyone I've Supervised or worked beside loves working with and for me. When you help others reach their potential they enjoy coming to work.
