Customer-focused operations leader skilled in service, inventory, and technical support.
What I'm looking for
I am a customer-focused operations and service professional with experience in hospitality leadership, retail sales, and food production environments. I consistently maintain high-quality standards, manage inventory and workflows, and support strong team performance.
I bring technical literacy and remote-work readiness, holding certifications in Google Cloud, HTML5, and technical support that complement my frontline experience. I excel in fast-paced environments and contribute to top-ranked performance metrics.
In my most recent role I prepared and packaged fresh food while upholding sanitation, safety, and quality standards, managed daily production workflows and inventory, and supported positive member experiences. My efforts contributed to #1 regional and market rankings and sustained Top 5 sales performance.
Previously I led hospitality operations, trained staff, and drove service quality to achieve Top 3 market sales ranking, and I supported merchandising and sales in retail settings. I seek roles where I can combine operational excellence, customer service, and foundational technical skills to drive measurable results.
