I started working at Otter Creek Brewing as a machine operator. I had the ability to run all machines on the packaging and keg line. Performed set up and sanitation duties. I moved to floor leader supervising all packaging line operators and was responsible for all shipping and receiving. I was promoted to Packaging Manager within a year of earning floor leader title. My responsibilities were over seeing all packaging and keg line production, inventory management and purchasing.
