Summary
Having successfully completed a 4-year plumbing apprenticeship program at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, I have established a solid foundation in the field. Progressing from a helper at JEM Mechanical to a supervisor, I have consistently demonstrated career advancement. In 2013, I transitioned to Cuevas Machine Co., starting as an industrial pipefitter and eventually becoming an industrial supervisor specializing in piping and structural work. Joining S3 in 2019 allowed me to apply my accumulated skills and knowledge. During my time at S3, I obtained a license in testing backflow preventers and received comprehensive training on various systems and equipment that we maintain. I am driven to constantly expand my knowledge, not only within my trade but also in other areas. I understand the value of being well-rounded and adaptable for future job requirements.
