Summary

I am a current or laid off employee, I believe a guaranteed rehire that took disability leave from the Leesburg Virginia store in 2014. I have a high IQ, I qualify for MENSA, 155 on a scale of 160, so I remember most if not all of what I have learned. I would only need a short time to recover all the information and skills necessary for optimum work performance. The Leesburg location was a high volume store.

Proven expert in task management and strong interpersonal skills, I enhanced customer loyalty at Walgreens by streamlining processes and fostering team collaboration. My meticulous approach to quality assurance and proficiency in POS systems significantly improved service efficiency. Achievements include leading teams to exceed customer satisfaction goals, demonstrating both hard and soft skills critical to retail excellence.

Knowledgeable barista with solid background in creating high-quality beverages and providing exceptional customer service. Consistently recognized for maintaining clean and efficient work environment, contributing to team success. Demonstrated abilities in managing inventory and cash handling.

Friendly Barista with great people skills and sales experience. Dedicated to creating personalized customer experiences while offering expertise in coffee production, and preparation. Strong knowledge of roasting and brewing, with enthusiasm for promoting sustainable and fair-trade coffee.

Friendly team player dedicated to making delicious specialty coffee and tea beverages and contributing to safe, welcoming cafe environment. Fast learner and adapter to new circumstances and challenges paired with in-depth knowledge of coffee-making equipment operations. Works well under pressure and in fast-paced settings.
