Summary

At RailWorks Signals & Communications, I enhanced signaling infrastructure longevity through preventative maintenance and played a pivotal role in ensuring safety and regulatory compliance. Expert in heavy equipment operation and advanced communication, I significantly contributed to emergency responses and modernization projects, showcasing my safety awareness and technical proficiency. During high school I also had a personal landscaping business. I took care of a total of 15 yards from every week to every other week and stayed consistent with having more communication with new clientele. I showed I had knowledge and was capable to freshen up with the lawn equipment I was using to get you're yard in the best shape.
