About

I have been working in customer service since 2019, and team leadership since 2024. Most recently, I have been leading a team of approximately 50 employees at Target starting in January 2026. My experience spans retail and food service environments, including Starbucks and Del Taco, where I have developed skills in operational management and employee training. My work involves coordinating staffing and workload distribution, training and mentoring employees, and analyzing operational metrics to improve service standards. I use tools like Microsoft Office Suite, MyTime (Forecasting & Scheduling), Zoom, and Sharepoint to support daily operations and communication. I have also managed inventory control, cash office procedures, and compliance with food safety regulations.
