Feb 2013 - Present
I was hired as a Deckhand in 2013 and quickly progressed to a Laborer and Equipment Operator. As a Deckhand, I was responsible for the scheduled maintenance to boat engines and assisting barges with loading, unloading, and discharging. I facilitated the work of boat operators by standing watch during steering and mooring. As an equipment operator, I have gained proficiency in the maintenance and operation of our entire fleet of heavy and light duty equipment including Bobcats, log stackers, water trucks, and front-end loaders. I am responsible for the general maintenance of these machines and the routine repair of engines and parts. I also direct landscaping maintenance and the operation of weed eaters, trimmers, mowers, and chainsaws to complete landscaping plans. To this end, I am skilled in gravel, asphalt, dock, and roadway repairs and maintenance. Show less

Billing Manager

Sep 2009 - Apr 2012
As the Billing Manager at OneLife Fitness, I was responsible for the daily financial operations of the facility and collecting on due accounts. Once I received the promotion to a management position, I was able to take on more responsibility that had a great impact on the company’s bottom line. I drafted comprehensive financial reports and worked with senior management to reduce the number of past due accounts, track outdated accounts, and collect on these payments. Key Contributions: • Created engaging customer promotions that highlighted our amenities and focused on Health and Wellness. These promotions were instrumental in increasing memberships. We also saw a swift decline in membership cancellations. • Promoted to management position. Show less

Sign Producer

May 2008 - Jul 2009
At Winsor Fireform, I facilitated the production and manufacture of custom designed porcelain enamel signs. I gained proficiency will all levels of production including welding and fabricating frames and screen-printing digital images. I am skilled in the handling of hazardous materials and forklift operations. During my time with Winsor, I served on a special projects team that specialized in high profile projects around the country. I served as our color expert and quality control and worked tirelessly to perfect each hue through all phases of our proprietary imaging process. This role required an eye for perfection and keen attention to detail. Each hue had to be tightly controlled, as if one were off by a miniscule amount, the overall image quality would be compromised. A few of our high-profile projects included: • Jackie Robinson tile mural at the entrance to the Mets Stadium in New York. • Yellowstone National Park • Bayer • Washington State Parks • Arizona State Parks I also facilitated the workflow of the business by managing customer interactions; managing stock, inventory, and shipping transactions; and loading and unloading deliveries. During this role, I exhibited extreme attention to detail to fabricate designs and deliver superior products for custom orders. Show less
