Work
Where I've worked
Experience balanced across three areas: skilled trades, restaurant leadership, and warehouse operations — team training, production quality, safety, and keeping high-volume work moving.

Sep 2026 — Present
Shift Leader · Moe's Southwest Grill
Duluth, GA
- Hands-on shift leader supervising 2–3 crew members — working prep, service, and dining stations alongside the crew while directing the shift, coaching, and supporting new-hire training.
- Run a clean, methodical, organized close: the store closes at 10 p.m. and the crew is out in 20–30 minutes on average.
- Handle cash and drawer counts, opening duties, customer issues, and food-safety standards during high-volume shifts.
Previously Shift Leader at Moe's Southwest Grill, Nashville, TN — July to September 2026, in the same role.
