What do you do in your profession?

Shipping, receiving as a material handler. In 2015, I was an inside apprentice, changed classification to telecom tech apprentice in 2017/2018, then changed classification again to material handler in 2021.

What are your dream career and dream tasks to work on?

I never had a dream career. I just want to get paid enough to enjoy the activities after work.

Advice for someone who wants to do the same job or career as you.

Everything is entry level, so you’ll learn everything on the job. Just be prepared to learn a lot of things at one time.

If you were to go back and give advice to yourself at age 16, what would it be?

Join the union as soon as you graduate. College and military are not your only options after high school.
