What I'm looking for
I am an experienced operations and program leader with over 5 years in management roles across dynamic hospitality and public sector environments. My expertise lies in executing high-impact training programs, including a market-wide pandemic reintegration effort, which significantly improved team performance and guest experience.
In my current role as a Sales Advisor and Shift Lead at Best Buy, I have successfully increased the sales score card and consistently exceeded revenue targets. My previous experience as a Shopkeeper at Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams allowed me to manage daily operations, optimize sales, and lead a pandemic exit program across multiple stores.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Political Science and an MBA, with a Bachelor of Software Engineering expected in 2026. I am passionate about fostering positive workplace cultures and mentoring emerging professionals to achieve their career goals.
