Work History

Supervisor

Aramark
03.2022 - Current
  • I started at Nissan in 2012 taking care of the salad bar. Eight months later I moved to the deli and helped at the grill. Around 6 months later I move to team leader role. I helped train new employees. While at Nissan I reconciled the cash deposits, also did ordering, inventory and help with the menu. In 2015 I transferred to Regent Court. My duties were basically the same other than being in charge of 4 satellite buildings. I also filled in at those buildings as needed. When covid hit I took off till 2022. In 2022 I started at MAP. I started as a food service worker. I moved to the grill about 7 months later. In February of 2024 I moved to a supervisor position. I train new employees showing them the recipes and making sure Aramark standards are followed. I listen to what the guests want and work with the team to try and make it happen. I have taken the Prima web class. At MAP I have helped place orders and inventory. I have worked all positions at MAP except the driver.
