Everywhere I go, I strive to make an impact. I am driven to see change for the better. This isn't just about data. It's about making an actual difference. It's about seeing the seed of an idea bloom into a beautiful impactful result. As a Data Analyst and Parts Manger at Ford, I do this everyday. As a strong problem solver, I couple initiative, communication and drive to make an impact and experience results.
Data, whether simple or advanced, should simply solve a problem .

Recommendations
I had the privilege of working with Michael a few years back as his direct supervisor at a Target Distribution Center in Albany, OR. His perseverance through challenging times and his tenacity to get the job done right, both safely and efficiently, made him a valuable asset to any team he was a part of. Michael was a bold listener, who actively sought understanding of different perspectives, thoughts, and ideas, and a motivated self-starter that was never afraid to bring new ideas to the table along with a willingness to learn through failure. His contributions drove collaborative improvements towards capacity constraints as well as team productivity and his steadfast commitment to his own personal and professional development only magnify his adeptness to produce similar results in any field. Thank you for your time and professionalism, Michael. Any company would be extremely fortunate to have you.
