Summary

Motivated worker, whose always tried to excel at all tasks in the work place. After achieving Tech 4 in germ, I jumped at the opportunity to become a Shift Leader and a better asset to the Blair site. After about a year, I had the opportunity to accept the Germ RC position. Since becoming the RC, I've managed multiple steam purges, traveled to other facilities to help with outages, create weekly schedules for maintenance. Since Cargill 2030 happened, I took over the day to day operations of the germ department. I currently handle rate planning weekly, vacation coverage and call outs, day to day truck traffic, rail cars loaded daily, production meetings, tier 3 idex when needed, communicate with supply chain weekly on our production and if we need to increase rate or slow down.
