ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I started working at the United States Postal Service in 2008 in Dublin, GA, as a city carrier. Since then, I have worked at several different post offices, including those in Dublin, Milledgeville, Eatonton, Forsyth, Columbus, and Covington. Through my hard work and dedication, I eventually became a supervisor and filled in for the Postmasters during their absences. I resigned on December 24, 2023.
