Rylie is a 35-year-old female with 15 years of warehousing experience. Rylie applied for a warehouse manager position with ACME Products. Among other duties, the warehouse manager is the only warehouse employee authorized to operate a forklift throughout the massive warehouse. The warehouse handles expensive electronic equipment, and only managers are permitted to drive forklifts for safety and security reasons. Due to a genetic defect, Rylie has no use of her left arm and is legally blind, although she can see things held close to her face.
