Summary
My why for coming to Whole Foods Market almost 10 years ago was to become an STL. I have appreciated every role at Whole Foods Market and look forward to bringing that to Jamaica Plain. I have learned from many mentor's in this company and my life, building upon a leadership style of team building, customer obsession and consistent operational excellence. The skill set and passion I bring to help a team succeed are a perfect match for the STL position at Jamaica Plain.
