Work History

General Manager of Operations

Slim Chickens
Fayetteville, AR
08.2016 - Current

Starting as an crew member working expo line at near minimum wage for that time, Quickly climbed the ladder. Reaching in-store trainer within first 3 months, that only lasted a month before I began training as shift leader in end of December. Coming back as a shift lead I quickly began steps to grow further, soon after in the range of 6 months was opening manger in charge of training a new location. Once opened I remained at this store and helped assist in some store recovery cleaning projects for around a year until I was called on to become AGM of the Springdale location. This lasted around 9 months until I came back to original location for another year or so in this role. I then served as GM for what will be at time of leaving a little over 6 months.

Overall I have served Slims in many roles and functions to improve sales and systems and assist in any and all operations from administration, prep, line work and, training!
