SUMMARY
Strong background in the Food industry, with significant accomplishments in Production Management
within union and non-union operations, complemented by considerable experience in Food Sanitation. A
take-charge leader, who motivates others through a collaborative management style and a positive “can-
do” attitude. Self-starter who gets the job done, meeting tight deadlines in high volume, fast paced
environments. An analytical thinker, who enjoys a challenge, and not averse to taking on change, new
initiatives or added responsibilities.
