Summary
Dedicated, mature and responsible worker with (W2.5 years) experience on night shift. Spending the last five and a half years in manufacturing at Walkinshaw Where I started as an assembler, then rose through the ranks to gain a year and a half experience as a team leader and over two years experience as a supervisor.
I'm now looking to pivot to a new industry; hoping to find a good company where I can use my skills to improve the company, myself, and those around me, while developing a stable and long term career.
