What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can support safe, efficient operations through manufacturing, laboratory, inventory, material-handling, or customer-service work in a fast-paced team environment.

I've supported safe, efficient operations across manufacturing, laboratory, and hospitality environments in Waco.

At Howmet Aerospace, I operated industrial plating equipment, heavy machinery, and forklifts while handling hazardous chemicals and supporting aerospace fastener production.

I've also processed and shipped laboratory materials at BioLife Plasma Services and deliver fast-paced customer service, inventory management, and compliant beverage service at Freight Icehouse & Yardbar.
