What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values teamwork and offers opportunities for growth.

As a Store Manager at Bo's Smoke Shop, I oversee daily operations, manage employee schedules, and ensure a safe and efficient work environment. My leadership skills have helped my team thrive, and I take pride in maintaining high standards of customer service and operational excellence.

Previously, I have held various roles, including Line Cook and Delivery Driver, where I developed strong skills in food preparation and logistics. My experience as a Patient Transporter and Personal Care Assistant has also equipped me with the ability to provide compassionate care and support to individuals in need.

With a Commercial Driver's License and extensive experience in driving and customer service, I am adaptable and ready to take on new challenges in my career. I am committed to continuous learning and growth, ensuring that I bring value to any organization I join.
