Supervisory Experience

Due to the final closing of our plant, I have spent the past year creating and managing a team to transfer the photopolymer plates and information packets to Berry?s ?sister? plants.

INTRO

I feel my years of experience should be beneficial in numerous positions at many printing organizations. I have worked in almost every area in our facility starting at the age of 21. The last 15+ years have been in the plate shop here at Berry Plastics (originally St. Regis when I started, but has changed owners numerous times until being purchased by Berry). I have enjoyed the added leadership, including the variety and daily stimulation. The Berry, Kent WA, plant closing was successful and I have received company-wide thanks and appreciation for my significant contribution to it.
