SUMMARY

I am courageous, with the inner strength to deal with anything that comes

my way. I can't always change what happens, but I have the ability to

change and adapt based upon changing circumstances. While others see the

impossible, I see the possible.

I am experienced in high-volume automotive and textile production

equipment, ensuring requirements are met related to production, scheduling,

quality, safety, housekeeping, cost, production data entry, payroll and

human relations. I know how to plan, organize and prioritize and am

proficient in math, word processing and spreadsheets. I am a dedicated

manager who can lead and motivate associates to reach challenging goals.
