@drakeslay
Dependable Housing Operations Assistant focused on safe, fast, detail-driven material handling and support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dependable, hardworking professional with 4+ years of experience in material handling, warehouse support, and fast-paced operations. I’m recognized for reliability, efficiency, and strong communication, especially under time constraints.
Currently, I work as a Housing Operations Assistant at Indiana University-Bloomington, performing daily material handling tasks like trash removal (up to 50 lbs), stocking supply closets, and moving resident furniture. I manage multiple work orders per shift while maintaining attention to detail and supporting students and staff with housing needs.
Before that, I supported customers through hands-on logistics and service roles, including Mover/Material Handler and Delivery Driver. I handled over 10,000 deliveries at DoorDash while maintaining a 4.7/5 customer satisfaction rating, balancing 40+ hour work weeks with academic responsibilities.
I take safety and cleanliness seriously, including OSHA-compliant chemical handling and PPE use, along with facility maintenance duties from earlier janitor/dishwasher and deli/customer service experience. I bring heavy lifting, inventory handling, and teamwork to consistently meet time-sensitive goals.
