Summary
Dedicated and hard working Senior Machinist with 4+ years of experience in the manufacturing industry. During this time, I have developed a wide range of skills and abilities in metal manufacturing and have used them to continue to grow in this industry. My 12+ years of restaurant management have given me the opportunity to become a leader in a fast-paced environment as well as gain expert customer service skills. While teaching abroad, I was able to enhance my public speaking skills, come up with lessons on the fly, encourage students to speak foreign languages, and show them the advantages of being bilingual. I have always taken my job very seriously, and I start everyday with the excitement of being able to learn something new, because there is always more that you can learn.
