As a warehouse / material handler, I support daily operations by assisting with receiving, storing, and staging inventory, ensuring that products and materials are organized accurately and efficiently. I help unload and load shipments, sort and move stock, and maintain accurate records of incoming and outgoing items. I perform general warehouse duties such as picking and packing orders, organizing stock locations, and keeping the work area clean and hazard-free. I follow all safety procedures, use warehouse equipment as trained, and work collaboratively with supervisors and team members to meet production and shipping goals. This role requires attention to detail, the ability to lift and move product safely, and a strong commitment to maintaining a productive and safe warehouse environment.

• I worked on a production line in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kinshasa) in a restaurant-style food preparation setting.

I consistently met productivity quotas while maintaining attention to detail to prevent order errors and product damage. The role required strong focus, spatial awareness, and the ability to work comfortably at heights for extended periods. I also performed equipment safety checks at the start of each shift, followed OSHA guidelines, and maintained a clean and organized work area.
