I completed my education at Nuksu Primary School and Rēzeknes Lūznavas Vocational School, where I studied construction. After that, I moved to England, where I have been working at PDM Produce ever since. I started my career as a general operative and quickly established myself as a reliable and responsible employee, which led to a promotion. Following the introduction of Redpack machines, I progressed into the role of machine operator and supervisor, gaining strong hands-on experience in production processes and equipment operation. I also carried out post-season maintenance, including inspection, cleaning, and preparation of equipment for the next production cycle.
