What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers leadership opportunities and values employee development.

I am a dedicated site production manager with nearly a decade of experience in the pet food industry, overseeing the entire production process from batching raw ingredients to delivering finished products. My role at Heartland Pet Food Products has allowed me to hone my skills in managing cross-functional teams, establishing key performance indicators, and ensuring compliance with safety and quality standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement and employee engagement. I have successfully led teams of up to 15 salaried employees, conducting performance reviews and participating in the hiring process. My ability to communicate effectively with various managerial leaders has been instrumental in driving operational excellence and fostering a culture of safety and quality.

With a strong educational background in Business Administration and Computer Science, I am continually seeking to expand my knowledge and skills. I am passionate about leveraging my experience to contribute to a dynamic organization that values teamwork and innovation.
