Summary

I’m a Hardworking and highly disciplined individual with hands-on experience in construction, food service, and customer-facing roles. Currently working as a carpenter at Silicon Valley Builder Group and pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice at Hartnell College with the long-term goal of becoming a law enforcement officer. Known for reliability, time management, and a structured routine. Balances full-time work, college, parenting, and MMA/Jiu-Jitsu training. Now seeking a role in a merchandise or retail position where organization, physical energy, and attention to detail are essential.

Discipline & Routine:

  • I maintain a weekly checklist on my fridge to manage bills, diet, and responsibilities.
  • I consistently turn in assignments on time and prioritize my education.
  • I take my 6-year-old son to school daily before work, teaching him time values.
  • I follow a strict schedule for working out, MMA and Jiu-Jitsu training, and healthy eating.
  • This structure helps me reduce stress and stay focused.

Weakness – Over-Scheduling:

  • When unexpected events arise, it can be challenging to shift my schedule.
  • I often need to complete what’s on my checklist before taking on new tasks.
  • I'm improving by using calendars to build in flexibility without compromising discipline.
