Edwin was studying Electrical Engineering when his life changed forever. When family circumstances forced him to become the breadwinner, he rose to the occasion with a positive mindset and determination to succeed.
I believe in education and I love working hard. All my mentors in life drilled me to work hard and not to be afraid to fail, as long as I’m learning.
If I make a mistake, I’m the first one to report it and I want to learn how to fix it myself so I don’t do it again. Amrod has given me many opportunities to learn, from the first day when I started as a Packer. I’ve worked in many positions, like Tunnel Minder and Machine Operator on about five different machines.
When Amrod bought a new machine, I was the first one in the company to work on that machine and in the beginning I was working late because we didn’t have a night-shift. Today, I train people to work on those machines and we now have three of them.
Amrod has invested a lot of training in me, and that feels great.
I love working with my hands but I also love training people. I want to help them like my Manager, Lee helped me. I’m not selfish, I want everyone to succeed.
