OBJECTIVE
I like to become the best well-rounded person I can be. All of life’s experiences have been and will continue
to be helpful in my pursuit of achieving this goal. I want to be a positive influence, for my co-workers and
anyone else who I may encounter, through my words and actions. I am not afraid of change, I welcome it,
knowing that it is an inevitable aspect of my career path.
QUALIFICATIONS
For the last 8 years I had been employed with Boehringer-Ingelheim/West-Ward Pharmaceuticals as a
technician; I am currently working for Pharmaforce as a Compounding Technician.
I have been employed for a few warehouses, Manpower (Dixie Cup) and American Tire
Distributers, over the few years I was in South Carolina, Copperweld (in Ohio) for two years, Valaire
Logistics/Aspen Distribution (in Ohio) for the previous two years, and Crane Plumbing (in Ohio) for the six
years preceding that.
Most responsibilities for a general warehouse position would be comparable to responsibilities from these
previous employers. I have worked in dirty conditions and tolerated high temperatures. I have operated
forklifts and held various jobs in manufacturing for the last nineteen years. I have worked on a dock
loading/unloading semi trailers as needed. Driving delivery routes have also been part of my past
employment experience.
With Boehringer-Ingelheim, I have had the opportunity to work with teams on Global CAPAs, work in GMP
areas, write procedures, helped design training exercises for new and existing employees, cross trained with
Quality Optimizers, have worked on teams to come up with incentives for job excellence, and numerous
other capacities as needed.
I have a long standing record of being on time for work and attending when I am scheduled.
