Summary

I am a highly motivated and adaptable worker with extensive experience across manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing industries. I have worked as a Moulder producing plastic kayaks, boats, water tanks, and playgrounds, where precision, attention to detail, time management, and adaptability to changing conditions were critical to success. At Vanda, I worked as a Curtain Track Assembler, expertly cutting and assembling custom curtain tracks with meticulous accuracy and ensuring products were safely packed for delivery. I also have strong experience in freight logistics, having worked as a Checker and Forklift Operator at Daily Freight, where I was responsible for quality control, freight management, and operating safely in a fast-paced, high-pressure warehouse environment with 10+ forklift drivers. I bring great energy to every role, thrive under pressure, and pride myself on my strong work ethic, commitment to safety, and ability to adapt quickly to new challenges.
