Brings hands-on experience working in fast-paced, equipment-driven environments where safety, consistency, and attention to detail were required every day. Current role operating extrusion machinery includes monitoring production systems, identifying mechanical issues, and performing routine maintenance to support equipment performance and reduce downtime—experience that translates directly to mechanical troubleshooting and systems awareness. Previous leadership roles built strong habits in coordinating teams, following safety and compliance standards, managing inventory, and maintaining organized workflows under pressure. Additional experience in youth mentoring strengthened communication, problem-solving, and the ability to stay composed when handling issues in real time. Combined with technical training in HVAC fundamentals, plumbing, electrical basics, masonry, scaffolding, and OSHA safety compliance, this background supports readiness to contribute to hands-on maintenance, repair, and trade-based work in structured job site environments.
