Over the past eight years, my managerial and experience professional development has been focused on exposing and developing the effectiveness and efficiency of retail operations and customer service management. Due to my ability to constructively interact with my team, while maintaining leadership, oversight, direction and productivity, I was promoted from Barista to General Manager. As a General Manager, I was responsible for designing, developing, documenting and maintaining policies and procedures for day-to-day operations including employee management, protocol procurement and profitability analysis. In addition, I have developed a keen ability to concurrently manage multiple projects while meeting deadline. Examples of such work include but are not limited to the operational oversight of 11+ retail stores and the project management/execution in opening/launcing two national (New York City and Los Angeles) and one regional retail store.

What cities or countries are you interested in traveling to?

My interest in travel has no boundaries.
