Loaded semi trucks with pallets of food/food supplies in a timely and efficient manner, order picker which means I received a sheet/order and drove the pallet jack around to pick my orders, stack the products on the pallet in a uniform and precise manner so the load was even and no weight shift would occur.

Drainage/sewer pipe bellinghead fabricator. My responsibilities for this job were to work 3 hydraulic bellinghead presses at the same time, read directions to fabricate 10” & 12” bellingheads for specific applications. Attention to detail was a must as anything as much of a quarter inch off could ruin a very expensive product, complete work orders, stack the product on the right pallets and send them to their correct location in the plant. Teamwork, fast paced environment, excellent communication, math skills.

As far as botanical and gardening/yard tending, I have enjoyed doing it since I was a young kid helping my grandparents and mom plant trees, shrubs, vegetables, trim trees etc. I thoroughly enjoy the work and fruits of the labor (pun might be intended lol) of working with nature and plants. I have been wanting to get into the cannabis industry for a long time I just haven’t had the opportunity.
