Comments:
Materials Management is my passion. Hard work and attention to details is
where I shine. My contribution to a team effort lies in assuring that all
parts and materials required by others to succeed are on hand when needed.
The passion I feel comes from knowing that I contribute to the bottom line.
The better I do my job the greater the contribution that I can make to a
company's success
