WORK EXPERIENCE:
Dona Ana County Detention Center
(Aramark Corp.) Mail/Warehouse/Library Supervisor
Las Cruces, NM November 2006- Present
I was warehouse supervisor and promoted to warehouse/library/mail supervisor upon the new contract in 2012. I control shipping and receiving of DACDC orders. I maintain a clean and organized warehouse. I supervise 4 clerks: 1 for Library, 1 for Warehouse, & 2 for mail. I order supplies needed for the detention center such as: inmate supplies, officer supplies, office supplies, & cleaning supplies. I also process request from DACDC staff and have my clerk fill the orders that we have available in the warehouse. I keep track of all officer uniforms and make sure they are up to date on their uniforms and re-order when they are due for new uniforms. I keep an inventory of the whole detention center and give a report to Dona Ana County every year. An inventory of the warehouse is given to Dona Ana County Detention Center every month. Library consists of a pick up and delivery every week. Inmates use the kiosk to request books that they would like to read. Request is printed by Friday every week and library clerk will process request. Books are then delivered to inmates by a pre-set weekly schedule. Once books are turned back in I mark them off of the inmates account. Books that are lost or damaged I charge the inmate for the book. Both Library and Warehouse are run off of the ACTFAS system. I fill out paperwork and help the mail with anything they need. I cross train all of my employees so they can fill in for anyone who is out. I ensure that all my employees are getting along well and working as a team. Anytime an employee has a problem with an inmate I have them fill out the proper forms and I take those forms to classification.
Window Specialties Secretary/Supervisor
Las Cruces, NM July 1998-April 2000
Managed payroll for 5 employees, paid bills, managed shipping and receiving, Kept and inventory assuring everything stayed up to date and my boss could always have an answer as to what we had on hand. Floor specialist: I knew the product we were selling and could manage the floor and make sales to walk in customers or over the phone. I would keep in contact with the customer from the begging of the order until after their order was installed in their home. When we were short of employees I also assisted on installation of doors and windows. I supervised the entire installation specialist (a total of 4). Window Specialties was a small company worth about 500,000. The owner had started the company herself and I worked with her to keep this company going. I started out as a receptionist at this job and because of my job performance I was quickly promoted to Supervisor/Secretary. Because I did my job well my boss was able to leave the office more so that she could go out and pull in more business.
Parkview Metal Corp. Inventory Secretary
Las Cruces, NM December 1997-June 1998
I Maintained inventory count, Data entry via Microsoft Excel, Worked in shipping and receiving. This company is a multi million dollar company that makes metal products for several different companies. I started in this company as factory assembly line worker and due to my skills I was promoted to Secretary of Inventory. I worked the graveyard shift which is when we brought in a good percentage of our inventory. I logged inventory in, counted it, and entered it into the computer. I also kept track of how much product was being used and entered this on excel. I needed to make sure that everything was logged into the computer before the day shift came in because they started from where I left off. Therefore, all of our figures had to be accurate or it could throw the whole system off track.
Pic Quick Stores Inc. Clerk/Supervisor

At this job I worked at register and customer service: kept track of inventory and made orders, supervised and trained new employees to ensure that they knew how to do their job and how to treat the customers. I also trained these new employees to ensure that they knew how to do their job well. After these employees were trained I kept track of how well they conducted their job. I also kept track of their daily log inventory and budget logs to see if they were missing anything that they were adding it right. Aside from this I would work a regular clerk shift usually for a graveyard closing shift. I also worked with shipping and receiving checking in orders and making orders for items needed to stock the store. The entire inventory was logged and sent to the Pic Quick Corporate Office.
