Objective:

I am looking to secure a full time position in great company where I can incorporate my proven track record as a team leader to add value to an organization. My passion to as an educator is a direct result of my belief that only through service and helping others create meaning in life.

Value:

As an experienced Buyer/Planner, I administered aftermarket parts for a large corporate wastewater equipment company. As the sole Aftermarket buyer, I became familiar with the workings of all the equipment sold company wide. As a team, we made 25M EBIDARM profit for the company 2013 Q4. My experience in lean manufacturing, using a variety of ERP programs such as SAP and Syteline were integral to the operations team. As a Professional Teacher, I am a proven leader in training and communication. I have considerable experience in manufacturing. I know how to read drawings and am familiar with measurement tools. I have taken previous employers from a struggling to contain Worker’s Comp soaring costs by creating a Safety Program with documented training and instruction which helped pull the company from financial strain. I also developed training and instruction in the form of a Quality Management System which helped the company add customers and drive additional sales. My background as a teacher and a substitute teacher has given me knowledge of the educational system and structure.

My areas of expertise include patience, communication and instruction. I work well as part of a team and as a self motivator. I take pride not only in being someone who shows up ready to work but also someone who gets the job done right. I strive to seek to understand before I am understood. I am passionate about helping others succeed at their assigned tasks and helping them achieve more than they thought possible. It is my firm belief that helping others is the single most important thing that gives our lives meaning.
