Owen Silveria

At Whole Foods Market, I was hired primarily to work in the coffee and juice bar. I provide excellent customer service and work independently ensuring that our guests leave feeling satisfied. I transitioned into assisting the bakery more often as well, and I close the department a couple of times a week. I write on cakes, package and prepare bakery items, and take special orders.

Worked as assistant manager at the Picnic Basket from November of 2021 to February of 2022. Ordered goods for the shop on a nearly daily basis including paper goods, baked goods, produce, dairy, as well as supplies from Costco. In addition to placing orders, I worked the register, made coffee drinks, worked in the kitchen, and ran orders.

• Scooper at the Penny Ice Creamery since June of 2017
• Senior Shift lead at the 41st location 2018-2020
• Involved in training of new employees, ordering goods for the shop at regular intervals, as well as responding to staff emails.
• Events 2018-2020
• Worked at the Downtown Santa Cruz and Felton farmer’s market which involved loading a van with various supplies and setting up and breaking down a market stand at the farmer’s market. I often purchased produce for the various ice creams being made at the shop and occasionally delivered produce and other items to affiliated businesses.
• Other events included driving and setting up the market stand at various locations. I did many events over a couple years including a few events at farms in Watsonville and UCSC, a couple city events, a private party, and a wedding. Mostly local stuff, but I did have to drive to Pacific Grove once, so I am comfortable driving long distances independently.
