What I'm looking for
I am a reliable and hardworking technician with over 10 years of hands-on experience in food service, automotive maintenance, and warehouse operations. My strong work ethic and mechanical aptitude have allowed me to excel in fast-paced environments, ensuring safety and quality in every task I undertake. As a certified forklift operator, I have developed a proven ability to work efficiently and collaboratively within teams.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including back of house team member, line cook, and forklift operator. My experience at Pizza Ranch and First Watch has honed my skills in food preparation and kitchen cleanliness, while my time at Ozarks Coca-Cola / Dr Pepper and Specialty Foods Distribution has strengthened my expertise in warehouse operations and inventory management. I am committed to maintaining high standards of safety and quality in all my work.
In addition to my technical skills, I have a creative side that I have explored through online certifications in AI tools. I am eager to bring my diverse skill set and dedication to a new opportunity where I can contribute to team success and continue to grow professionally.
