Dynamic Parts Specialist with proven expertise at Leadcar Toyota, excelling in inventory control and shipping procedures. Skilled in utilizing forklift operations and maintaining accurate stock levels, I effectively collaborated with Bodyshop teams to expedite parts ordering, ensuring timely repairs. Strong communicator with a keen eye for detail, driving operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. My time with ADC Telecommunications for fifteen years in my early twenties and thirties taught me a lot about the shipping and receiving operations of a world wide telecom company, and my time spent daily loading and unloading trucks and picking and shipping finished product has stayed with me all through my working life.
