What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can keep operations safe and on time—loading/unloading, matching routes to drivers, and careful package handling—while also supporting admission intake for clients needing help with drug abuse or mental health.

I’m a forklift operator and route dispatcher who focuses on getting packages to the right trailers and the right locations. At FedExDistributionCenter (2017-2021) and DaytonFreightLines (2023-2026), I handled loading and unloading, transported pallets across the dock, and ensured deliveries stayed safe and unbroken.

I also bring specialized dispatch experience, including “truck driving dispatcher” work—placing routes with specific drivers and making sure deliveries will be made on time. Most recently, I work as an admission specialist, inputting information for clients who come in seeking help with drug abuse and or mental health problems, answering calls, updating client information, and directing people to the right nurse for the best service.
