Summary

I do have many years of experience working hands on inside as a Restauranteur. Now I am looking to progress my career into working for HR and/or corporate through Chipotle if possible. I have great experience with giving excellent guest experience, a way with my words and I am overall a people's person which in my opinion makes me extremely qualified to work on the other side of things. I have basic experience with office/remote job requirements and I am hoping to get my foot in the door, I am open to anything as long as I can remain with college as my main focus as working in store is beginning to take up a lot of time and added stress to my journey as a student. I am working on a BSA in Psychology and Social Work as well as doing school through Guild with Chipotle, with a focus on leadership, business, management and finance. Seasoned Service Manager bringing 7 years of amazing experience. Proficient in business practices, standards of operation and customer needs. Empowering leader with passion for developing teams with focus on exceptional service delivery and customer retention.
