I am lucky to have a very diverse work history that has afforded me many skill sets in many fields of work. Each area has served me well in the next endeavor that I have jumped into, allowing me to build both diverse skills, but also an understanding and perspective of many industries and trades.Beginning from financial printing, on a cold set web press, I learned the importance of organization and especially time management. Moving onto auto mechanics, the concept of time management was very key in keeping the movement of repaired vehicles, back into the care of the owners, who also have very busy lives of their own. Thus the perception that time management is a valuable tool was reinforced. While working in the automotive trade, for Honda dealerships, I became aware of the relationship of Service Adviser and vehicle owner. That is to say customer expectations and the delivery of quality service.I made a transition into the social field, and with that, the above understandings were a boon to me. While working with youth, my understanding of time management was a great tool to bestow to youth. With that youth under my supervision came to see how this simple tool would alleviate much anxiety that one comes under, when one looks at work load vs time to complete. Where does customer expectations comes in? Well that's simple: your teacher is the customer and you are the technician. Give your teacher the quality of work they ask for in the timeline they give out.With this principal, youth under my guidance completed courses and beyond that, did so with respected grades.I made a transition back to trade work. Hands on, once again. Working on a renovation project for a resort, led me to two season employment, where I was exposed to many trades, from a maintenance perspective. I realized at that point, that I had the tools required to open and handle all aspects of a business of my own. Which is where I am at now. Making your renovation dreams a reality
