Summary
I have worked in the grocery retail business for 35 years. Working for three nationally known retailers has provided me the experience needed to become a successful leader within these three companies.
I'm very grateful for my service as Store Team leader at Whole Foods Reno and also my time spent as the Executive Coordinator of Operations in Nor Cal. Spending time in these two roles has prepared me for the most rewarding position, Global Coordinator of Operations for 365. I am most proud of what I have been able to accomplish as the Global Executive Coordinator of Operations over the last three years. Being a part of a team, that started with a vision, to having twelve stores within seven Whole Foods regions, in just over 3 years, has been the best time of my retail career.
