Summary

I am a motivated self starter looking to manage a team to excellence. I have lots of experience with people, from developing them professionally, to interacting with guests and sales. I have most of my experience from food, however, I have been trying to branch out from food and grow into retail. I previously left Petco due to the opportunity of becoming a General Manager for Burger King. Had that not come to me, I would still be employed by Petco. I love all animals, and I enjoy working with a team dedicated to them.

Animal Rescue

I love rescuing unwanted or rehomed animals. I have a variety of my own that I've taken on, and have maintained for years. I have one main rescue group I work with, ARAR, and use Parkway Small Animal Hospital for vetting my exotics. I am knowledgeable about all types of animals and care for them.
