In addition to manufacturing, I also have experience in customer-facing roles such as working as a cashier and as a housekeeper in the hospitality industry. These roles strengthened my customer service skills, cash handling abilities, organization, and attention to detail. I learned how to communicate effectively with customers, manage responsibilities independently, and maintain clean and welcoming environments.

Overall, I bring a combination of technical manufacturing skills, strong customer service abilities, and a dependable work ethic. I am known for being a team player, learning quickly, and taking pride in producing quality work while maintaining a safe and efficient workplace.
