Recognized for exceptional operational performance and consistent scorecard results. Achieved a perfect 4.0 score card five times in 2025 by successfully meeting or exceeding key business targets, including maximizing sales, maintaining low employee turn over, achieving AVT goals, effectively managing food and alcohol costs and delivering strong overall restaurant performance. 

What I am most proud of is those results came from building a strong team, creating accountability, developing leaders, staying closely connected to the day to day operation. I believe that experience translates well into a District Manager role because I understand how to identify opportunities, coach leaders, drive consistency and hold teams accountable while still creating a strong culture.
