What I'm looking for

I seek a customer-facing role in retail or foodservice where I can use my cash‑handling, shift management, and kitchen skills to support a collaborative team and deliver excellent guest experiences.

I am an experienced customer service and foodservice professional with over a decade in restaurants and retail, skilled in cash handling, shift management, food preparation, and merchandising. I have worked in high‑volume environments including Wendy's, Newk's Eatery, Target, and local diners, consistently ensuring clean, stocked work areas and excellent guest experiences.

Currently pursuing an Associate’s in Business Management at Capella University, I bring practical leadership experience—scheduling, training, deposits, and inventory management—paired with hands‑on kitchen expertise and POS proficiency. I am dependable, safety‑focused, and committed to supporting team performance and customer satisfaction.
