Proven team collaborator and adept in warehouse safety, I enhanced package handling efficiency at FedEx by implementing advanced sorting techniques, significantly reducing damage rates. Skilled in heavy lifting and fostering workplace cleanliness, my adaptability and proactive approach have consistently improved operational workflows and team dynamics. Also, in high school, I played football. I was a vocal leader on the field, so I feel like I could use my voice in the workspace.
