Summary

Experienced in the paper industry for almost 14 years. I spent roughly 12 of those years in the pulp mill department at DS Smith. I learned various skills on how to trouble shoot mechanical and electrical issues with industrial pumps and motors.

I spent several months working on a bucket truck crew in Louisiana where we did storm clean up. I learned how to operate a bucket truck and maneuver the bucket around trees and limbs that needed to be cut.

My current job is wastewater operator where we maintain lift pumps and motors and perform various tasks to ensure wastewater operations are as smooth as possible.

I’ve always took pride in maintaining a good work ethic and attitude in whatever I'm trying to accomplish. I’m always eager to learn as much as I can about the tasks I encounter.
