Summary

A dedicated college student pursing Diesel Mechanics, I have been around cars my whole life and have found a passion in it. I have hopes of furthering my current knowledge by working in a shop.

I worked at Blue Beacon for around 2 1/2 years, I made a lot of lifelong friends there, however, I knew I had to leave this job as I moved from Georgia to Tennessee for college.

Once I moved to Nashville, I found a job at walmart and while I enjoyed the work I was doing my manager and I found ourselves in a difficult situation with my balance of school and work. We had agreed to a set of days I would have off for school and it was good for the first 2 weeks however, I was then fired for taking off the days I was originally told I would have off. While I loved working there I informed them that school was my first priority and unfortunately parted ways.
