Summary

I am self-motivated and experienced as a production and factory employee. I enjoy working with others to effectively produce products that management, as well as customers value. I feel like the most valued assets that I have as an employee are being adaptable, working with and leading others, a lot of forklift experience and utilizing tools, machines, and equipment to create efficiencies. I am a fast learner, and have started at the beginning, learned the operations, and have been promoted to lead operations. I am looking to take my experience and abilities to a company that will allow me to learn, grow, and continue to make my career successful.
