Job Evolution: When I started at The Bake Shoppe, I was a part-time clerk. I quickly learned all aspects of how the store operated and was promoted several times. I have had a large part in new product development. When needed, I have helped with conflict resolution between employees. Before being promoted to lead baker, I had a lot of customer interaction and enjoyed that aspect of the job very much. Multi-tasking and time management are very important parts of the job where I have excelled.

Mission Statement: I take pride in any job that I do and want to contribute in any way that I can to build a supportive, efficient atmosphere for staff and patrons.
