Summary

I’m someone who genuinely enjoys helping others and making people feel supported, especially during stressful situations. As a Barista Trainer at Starbucks, I developed strong communication, organization, and multitasking skills in a fast-paced environment. I regularly trained new team members, managed competing priorities, and ensured every customer felt heard and cared for. That experience strengthened my attention to detail, ability to stay calm under pressure, and commitment to providing respectful, compassionate service.
