Experience

Shift Supervisor - CVS Pharmacy

(2021-05 - 2024-10)

Led daily shift operations, directly supervising staff scheduling, task assignment, and performance to meet operational and inventory targets.
Enforced compliance with company standard operating procedures, safety protocols, and regulatory requirements in a highly regulated retail-pharmacy environment.
Resolved staff conflicts and operational issues in real time to maintain a productive, positive work environment during each shift.

Production Line Operator - Rust-Oleum Corporation - LeSage, WV

(2008-05 - 2013-03)

Operated automated and semi-automatic fill and packaging machines on a continuous production line.
Independently diagnosed and cleared conveyor belt fill-line jams: identified the location of blockages, adjusted sensors, cleared the line, and reset machine calibration to resume production with minimal downtime.
Escalated equipment issues beyond operator-level repair to maintenance teams, coordinating handoffs to keep the line moving.
Worked in a manufacturing environment requiring sustained standing, repetitive motion, and precise handling of production equipment — directly comparable to a lab or extraction production floor.

Owner Operator - Steele's Deals - Palm Bay, FL

(2013-03 - 2019-11)

Managed all aspects of an independent small business, including inventory, vendor relationships, and day-to-day operations.
