At Walmart Optical Lab, I directly manage and develop a team of 20 associates in the Surface Department. I coordinate workloads, evaluate performance, and support engagement, inclusivity, and career growth.

I enforce quality and safety standards through policy training and compliance monitoring, while resolving customer and associate concerns. I also collaborate with fellow Area Managers to align workflows and meet lab production and yield goals.

Before becoming Area 1 Manager, I worked as a No-Glare Associate at Walmart Optical Lab. I operated machinery, assisted with training new employees, and worked with Process Control, Surface, and Finish teams to track jobs and address breakage.

At SafeHaven Security Group, I processed payroll for approximately 150 officers using Paylocity and managed accounts payable and receivable with Quickbooks. My earlier experience includes dispensing and repairing glasses as an Apprentice Optician at Austin Vision Care, and customer service and grocery order fulfillment at Walmart Market & Supercenter.
