Palestine,TX

Summary

After graduation, I made a conscious decision to put off further education to stay home to help my family, following my father's multiple back surgeries. I was raised to volunteer my time helping at church activities and in our neighborhood.


I pride myself to always working hard on every job I've had. While employed at Brookshires there were many occasions I work double shifts, due to staffing shortages. I try to do my best and then do just a little more.


In the last thirteen years (2011 - 2024) I've worked several positions in the fast food industry, retail sales industry and at Sanderson Farms Chicken Plant.
