Professional Summary

I’m a hands-on, reliable worker with experience in machine operation, warehouse work, logistics, and customer service. I’ve led crews, learned how to run paint, grinder, and sweeper trucks, and handled everything from power tools to freight tracking systems. While my background is rooted in physical work, I’m currently pursuing a degree in Business Marketing because I want to shift into a career where I can grow, learn the business side of things, and make a long-term impact. I’ve already had real success on a small scale — like consistently selling tire packages at Discount Tire by simply listening to customers and explaining the value.

Now, I’m looking for a chance to break into a business environment where I can apply my work ethic, people skills, and growing knowledge to start building a real future. Work Experience
