  • Manage and resolve "Site Down" and "WAN Failover" tickets for over 17,000 sites, ensuring swift and effective troubleshooting for network disruptions.

Team Lead

Spotless Car Wash
11.2023 - 04.2024
  • When this opportunity presented itself, the other two managers at Go Car Wash as well as myself were excited to jump in and have the chance to start a first of its kind car wash from the ground up. The owner of the company brought us on while the site was still in construction and asked us for input for how the site should be set up.
  • This position taught me a lot about starting a new business and having a "What's next" mindset on how to continuously improve to be able to bring in new business to a company with no prior customer experience or reviews.

Team Lead

GO Car Wash
05.2022 - 11.2023
  • This was my first job out of high school, and I was promoted to team lead within the first year of my time here. In this role, I was the active manager on site and would be in charge of a team of around 5-8 people to ensure quality customer service was being delivered while we were washing cars and that the site was properly closed after hours.
  • While I was in this position, I was not only responsible for making sure the staff acts according to procedure, but also for the sales management of the site. I was able to contribute to being a part of the management team for the store that lead the Austin market for RPC value and customer volume for the year that I was in this role.
