Customer-service leader and graphic designer, training teams and delivering on-brand visuals.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Barista Trainer at Starbucks with experience managing high-volume cash handling, point-of-sale transactions, and order accuracy while keeping store operations running smoothly through inventory restocking, supply organization, and workflow support. I balance multiple priorities in a fast-paced customer service environment and stay focused on delivering great daily execution.
For the past two years, I’ve trained and onboarded new employees on operational procedures, customer service expectations, and company standards. My contributions have been recognized as Partner of the Quarter in November 2023 and August 2025.
Alongside my customer-service work, I build visual content as a Graphic Design professional, supporting branding needs through social media graphics, marketing materials, logos, and digital/print assets. From my graphic design intern and assistant roles to freelance work, I collaborate with teams and clients to develop concepts, revise based on feedback, and deliver polished designs using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Canva.
