Accomplishments
I started off at Pace in 2006 in an entry level Sample Receiving position. Where I would unpack coolers and log in samples, matching them with the COC. I worked my way to Bottle Prep where I would pack and ship empty sampling bottles inside coolers to clients around the country and world. From there was was moved into Bottle Tech supervisor were I had 2 employees working underneath me and managing a day to day schedule. From their I moved into Sample Receiving Lead where I had 5-8 employees on first shift and 2 on night shift I would have to manage and get day to day operations done. From there I moved into the Air Lab were I was a tech. I would print out orders and make sure everything that was requested was properly shipped and all Air Cans going out were clean. Now I work for FQS in doing cleanroom certification. I've been in this position now for a year and a half.
