What I'm looking for

I'm looking for long-term, full-time employment where I can provide quality service, maintain safety standards, work effectively with a team, and continue learning new tasks.

I'm currently a Direct Support Professional at Gateway Resources, supporting people with mental and physical disabilities through personal care, medication administration, meal preparation, housekeeping, transfers, and community outings.

I've also contributed in hands-on production roles at Tri Koating and Décor Cabinets, preparing surfaces, operating spray equipment, applying paint and lacquer, and maintaining consistent finish quality.

My custodial experience at Corner Two Corner includes commercial cleaning, vacuuming, dusting, waste removal, sweeping, mopping, and cleaning windows and surfaces.

I'm motivated by quality service, safety, teamwork, and learning new tasks quickly, and I'm seeking long-term full-time employment.
