Summary
I am currently pursing my skill in forklift operations as I have been currently working as a warehouse assistant predominately unloading and loading trucks daily whilst also having experience as a high reach forklift driver.
I am sadly leaving my current position as the warehouse has changed operation hours and does not work within my personal life.
I excel in fast-paced environments, consistently meeting targets through effective time management and strategic planning.
In my personal life I am a charismatic and driven person who loves to surf and dabble in music. I thrive of pushing myself to new challenges and proving myself I can overcome hurdles which I apply to my work ethic.
