Summary

I actively take interest in learning the ins and outs of whatever production or process job I've been a part of. I take pride in taking the time to understand the detailed and whole picture of each job from the chemicals, dosing, equipment processes, and unit specific pieces. I try to excel for myself but just as importantly for the company and I believe that's where I will stand out the most.
