I have 4 years of warehouse experience, primarily in short-term and seasonal roles, which allowed me to explore the industry following a career transition after the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to this, I worked as a professional hairstylist for over 12 years, building strong customer service, time management, and attention-to-detail skills. My contract- based warehouse roles were intentional, giving me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and determine my long-term career path. I am now committed to establishing a full-time, permanent career in the warehouse industry, with a strong desire to grow, advance, and take on increasing levels of responsibility.
