Direct Support Professional with customer service and shift leadership experience supporting people and keeping operations running smoothly.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Direct Support Professional working directly with people who have intellectual or developmental disabilities, and I bring a steady, hands-on approach to daily support. I’m known for showing up ready to help, communicate clearly, and stay dependable under routine and pressure.
Before that, I built a strong track record in customer-facing and operations roles, including merchandising and online grocery pickup work with Walmart. I also worked as a Shift Manager at Wendy’s, where I directed employees through daily routines, interacted with customers, and helped keep service moving.
Across my experience, I’ve developed reliable skills in cash handling, cleaning and housekeeping, food preparation and food handling, and supervising experience. With added medical care experience as a CNA and credentials like CNA, I’m especially motivated by roles where I can support people, follow procedures carefully, and contribute to a well-run team.
