What I'm looking for

I’m looking to change my career field into an exciting new path where I can bring my warehouse and team-builder strengths, keep learning fast, and contribute reliably in any role that helps jump start my future.

I’m a “TWU Operation Specialist” with hands-on warehouse experience building ULDS, pallets, and preparing import/export freight through offloading and uploading. I’m now a certified screener, screening freight for export with the K9 and supporting safe, on-time movement for flights.

I drive the forklift and a 15K, and I handle the full operation—break down, build up, tie down, and locating cargo as it comes in on the PAG, PMC, and in cans (AKE cans). I also bring corporate loss prevention warehouse experience, including cargo scanning and packaging, and I’m trained for ramp support while working toward my DR1 class.

Before my warehouse career, I worked as a Behavioral Support Specialist and Teacher’s Assistant/Assistant Teacher, assisting with behavior plans, functional behavior assessments, and classroom training for students with challenging behaviors. I bring that same patience, structure, and team-player mindset to every role, and I’m a fast learner who’s willing to take up any position to jump start my future career.
