Q. Can you share your Printpack career journey?  

I have been with Printpack for 30+ years now. My journey started when my neighbor referred me to Printpack in 1994. The first job I was hired for was working in Press Operations at the Atlanta plant on Wendell Drive. About 6 months later, I became a Press Assistant. In 1996,  I transferred to Villa Rica as an assistant at the Metallizing plant and moved up to Metallizing operator. A few years later, I was promoted to Metallizing supervisor, and in June of 2025, I transitioned to Digital Plant Supervisor.
