Summary

I have 16 years of experience, including as a Packaging Operator and as a Cashier in industries including Motor Freight Transportation and Warehousing. Most recently, I have been working as a Packaging Team Leader Operator/Forklift Trainer at Oil-Dri Corp. of GA from October 2004 to July 2016. My skills and experiences include: Materials Management, Training Programs, Shift Leader, Safety Trainer (MSHA, HAACP, ISO), Heavy Equipment Operator, Mill Operator, and Light Maintenance. I would also conduct safety audits of my department and others as part of the Audit Team. As a team leader and trainer, I was responsible for insuring we stayed in compliance of food handling protocols in association with HAACP and ISO. I am also GEMBA certified. I studied towards a Bachelor of Science (BS or BSC or SB) degree in BSN/Computer Prog from Columbus State University upon graduation from high school. I have 10 years of experience in management for restaurant and customer service. I have worked my way up in restaurants from cook to team leader and eventually management. I would make schedules, conduct orders for supply trucks, manage shifts by myself, and count monies down and input results into the system, and deposit at end of shifts. I would manage man hours based on demand and make adjustments accordingly. I was responsible for "opening/closing" of the restaurant. I am a quick and eager learner, who has never taken long to work up to managerial positions. I have attained a supervisory role everywhere I have been employed.
