What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced, customer-focused role where I can use my food production and customer service strengths, follow food safety standards, and grow into greater shift leadership and reliable daily operations.

I bring hands-on experience across food production and customer-facing roles, with a strong focus on quality, speed, and daily consistency. I’ve made donuts and dough, prepared icings, and helped with inventory, stocking, and store operations.

In my recent role as a Production Worker at SHIPLEY DO-NUTS, I fry donuts when needed, prepare icing for assorted items, perform light stocking and inventory, and support the front counter and other departments. Earlier experience also includes Cashier/Customer Service work and kitchen support, where I handled cash, assisted customers, and maintained cleanliness.

I’m comfortable working independently or as part of a team, and I’ve stepped into leadership before—starting in an entry-level position and progressing to Assistant Manager responsibilities such as scheduling, cash register preparation, float verification, deposits, and addressing unsatisfied customers. I aim to keep operations running smoothly while delivering friendly, reliable service every shift.
