I have dedicated a large portion of my life to learning how things work and have much enjoyed working and researching for ways to do things better and/or more efficient. Safety is always first, above all, so that while we are working/learning, we can all go home to our families in one piece . I enjoy solving problems and looking for ways to improve all things, including myself. I truly believe a happy, respectful, team like work environment is one of the best ways to improve productivity, and build a strong moral for all employees. I also strongly believe that all employees should not be afraid to admit and own up to their mistakes so that we all can learn and find the root of those mistakes. I believe a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link. if a team member is struggling, we should take time to get he or she up to par. I also believe in listening and learning.because life's about learning. I am very flexible and never dead set on only one way of evaluating all ideas. I am a very motivated and reliable person. Not afraid to get dirty; not afraid to take on new projects. I truly enjoy finding solutions to the hard problems. Your company thrives because "when you flourish, we flourish, and also our family flourishes!" Thank you for this opportunity to share a little about myself. I hope you will consider giving me a chance to be a part of your family.
