Summary

I have been working at Hondalock for 23 years, in several different departments. I have been very flexible and always open for a new adventure. I have only listed the Manager positions, however I started out as a production associate and worked my way up to teamleader, Coordinator, Assistant Manager and now Manager. I have worked in all production departments with the exception of Assembly department.

I always keep a positive open mind, even in the frustrating times. I feel if the associates that report to me see me feeling the stress then that will not be good leadership.

I would like to seek other opportunities that I could use my knowledge in, and even expand my knowledge.
