During my time as a Repair Technician, I have:

• Learned both brass and woodwind repair.
• I have been trusted to work on highly valuable and sensitive instruments.
• I have been trusted to act as second-in-command when the supervisor is away.
• Trained both new and experienced technicians.
• Organized warehouse space and orientation.
• Paperwork categorization for incoming and outgoing orders.
• Represented the company in 'out-of-work' workshops for local teachers.

So far, this job has helped me learn the importance of doing the job correctly and mindfully the first time, knowing where my limits lie and learning for it, and how to organize a multi-member workspace and work force.

As a runner, it was my job to:

• Move and organize pallet storage.
• Retrieve lost and/or missing parts to orders.
• Monitor warehouse organization and cleanliness.
• Be on call for any sudden job that needs filling or assistance.

This job taught me how to stay on my feet and to pay attention to any little detail I could for a more fluent workspace.

My responsibilities as a warehouse worker for Fraserway RV included:

• Unloading & organizing incoming pallet orders
• Build orders & kits for customer orders

This job taught me the importance of knowing and monitoring your workplace for a quick and efficient work flow

My time as Museum Archivist Assistant included:

• Documenting archival materials
• Learning and working by best industry practices for care and storage

Although brief, this occupation showed me the importance of mindfulness and proper practice, allowing me to learn to think in a more professional manner
