Summary

Over a decade of store management experience doing everything from ordering product, maintaining budgets and operations, contribute to growth and development in employees and sales, and played a large role in opening new concept locations for a large coffee shop chain.


While I'm wanting to ultimately bring my management experience into this new field, I know I'll be starting from the ground up. I have the want to learn and develop in each role, I have the willingness to admit and grow from my mistakes, and the drive to be the best apprentice you could want on each job site. While I'm currently in school for an advanced certificate in Advanced Electrical Wednesday-Friday mornings, my education is flexible and would be willing to switch to night classes or make up hours any other time 8am-11pm M-Th along with Friday/Saturday mornings.
