Jessica Little
@jessicalittle
Customer-focused shift leader delivering sales, service, and calm under pressure in retail and hospitality.
What I'm looking for
I bring 8 years of customer service experience across food and retail, with a track record of strong communication, upselling, and staying productive under pressure. I’m highly motivated, a team player, and known for handling customer needs with professionalism—from greeting and serving to resolving issues quickly.
I’ve also stepped into leadership and care roles, including opening/closing a retail store as a Shift Manager/Key Holder and supporting residents as a CNA and Activity Leader. With added certifications in medtech and phlebotomy, I’m comfortable taking initiative, multitasking, and delivering dependable support when people need it most.
