Summary
As a Warehouse and Logistics Manager of 3.5 years, I have been working fulltime since I have left high school in 2016. I have experience in many different fields including kitchen hand, apprentice electrician and warehouse manager. I have never been the one to stick my head in a book and learn that way, I am a hands on type of learner and I know that's how I learn the best. At the age of 24 right now, I know i still have a lot to learn along my lengthy road of employment but that is something I am really excited about. I would love to continue my career in management/logistics/operations as it has been a huge chunk of what I have been doing the past 3.5 years and I love the whole industry and how it operates.
