Summary

Accomplished Correctional Administrative Captain at Tennessee Department of Corrections, adept in expense management and showcasing a team player mentality. Streamlined inventory processes, achieving significant cost savings, and mentored staff to foster professional growth. Demonstrated exceptional stress tolerance in high-risk situations, enhancing operational efficiency and safety. Need to clarify I did not complete my degree I enter college in 1969 and stop attending in 1980 without successfully completing the requirement for a degree. I am interested in working part-time at your Catapillar location on West End Avenue. I am interested in a 2 day work week but will assist on some more depending on notice and my ability to help cannot routinely work overnight shifts. I believe the customer service experience I gained working for Loew prepares me for interacting with employees at Catapillar. My experience in corrections taught me the importance on adhering to procedures and the importance of reliability.
