2019 National Employee of the Year.

I was chosen as the 2019 employee of the year while on the van route service for my continuous efforts in customer relations; for going the extra mile to take care of my customer's needs: and for always being willing to accept and execute additional job duties when situations arose, often traveling outside of my area to ensure customers were serviced on time and the company's revenue stream was maintained in our region.
