Summary
With over 35 years of work experience, I have held various roles in different industries. I started my career as a salon stylist, where I honed my skills in cosmetology. Later, I transitioned into the transportation industry, working as a driver for tractor-trailers, transit, and patients. I have worked for reputable companies such as Wal-Mart, Swift Trucking, Schneider Trucking, and the Memphis Area Transit Authority.
Throughout my career, I have obtained a CDL professional license and have been certified to test drivers in the state of Tennessee. I have also taken on the role of department manager, where I have gained valuable leadership and organizational skills. In addition, I have earned a Bachelor's degree in business and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in the same field.
One of my passions is helping others learn new and productive skills. I have trained as an instructor, assisting drivers in obtaining their personal CDL licenses. I believe in continuous learning and have a strong desire to expand my knowledge and expertise.
