Summary
I have spent the past 24 years at Auria Solutions building relationships, enhancing my people skills, and through my 22 years of union representation developing leadership skills. I am familiar with the products and processes of the company along with very strong knowledge of the company history and needed direction in regards to company employee relations. My union experience has offered me the opportunity to not only be a leader for the work force at a local level but by also serving on the international executive board. My combined employee and union work during my time has prepared me to be able to manage the company directive while also helping to build a strong work force.
