Summary

Detail-oriented and highly organized professional with over 10 years of experience in fast-paced culinary environments, now transitioning into the electrician field with a TDLR certificate. I bring a strong background in team management, meticulous task coordination, and hands-on assembly experience, having managed kitchen setups and equipment for large events and created efficient workstations. Known for maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency, I’m eager to apply my disciplined work ethic, problem-solving skills, and dedication to learning the electrical trade and seeking an opportunity to gain practical experience and hands-on training in electrical work, where my adaptability and commitment to precision can add value to the team. I'm attending The Skill Point Alliance for my entry-level introduction to the electrician field.
