What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity where I can support customers and communities through food service, retail, or customer-facing work while continuing to build my skills in teamwork, organization, and service.

I'm currently supporting food access through College Corps, managing a student pantry and helping distribute groceries to individuals and families in need.

I keep pantry shelves stocked, organized, and sanitary, assemble food bags and grocery boxes, and sort produce at the Find Food Bank warehouse to maximize food quality.

At Panda Express, I processed cash and card payments, handled customer questions, coordinated orders with kitchen staff, and helped train new front-of-house employees.

My retail and food service experience also includes merchandising at Spirit Halloween and customer service at Taco Bell. I'm CPR and Mental Health First Aid certified and bring organization, teamwork, stocking, cleaning, and cash-handling skills.
