"When I first started my career I worked at a grocery store. I would often take the time to help the seniors who came to our store, to pack up their groceries, find a cart, or reach something from the top shelf. Although simple, I still bring these qualities with me to my job as an operations manager. I will go out of my way to help others and provide solutions where I see a need."

Prior to my job here at Ford, I worked in a supermarket for two years stacking the shelves. I learned a great deal there, from dealing with the public, problem-solving, and helping customers find needed items. I greatly enjoyed helping people, but most of all old aged people you could just tell needed that extra help, whether it be reaching a product on the top shelf, packing up their bags with their shopping, or running their groceries out to their vehicle. I bring these qualities with me today in my day to day job, if I can help out an engineer or a colleague, be it someone on the shop floor with me or even a technician or team leader, I will help out, or even providing a different angle on the issue sometimes helps. It's all part of the learning curve. My job is very interesting, and even doing a simple task for someone could lead me to have a greater understanding of components function on a vehicle perhaps.
