Rachel Conerly

Prairieville,LA

Summary

I have an extensive leadership background, with 10+ years of experience. I have worked from the ground up, starting with my very first job as a "sandwich artist" at Subway, to a now, Assistant Store Manager over a 12 Million dollar business. I am a hard working, driven individual, who leads fearlessly, welcomes feedback, and seeks growth. A key strength of mine is building relationships. Building relationships within our community, with our guests, and creating a motivating environment for my team. I performance manage, strategize, and collaborate to propel my team forward. I lead with vulnerability and am someone my peers/direct reports know, that they can count on for support. I had every intention of majoring in psychology, but leadership and team building pulled me in a different direction. One that has helped shape me and many others.
