Work Experience

Grill Cook

Cracker Barrel - Bristol, VA

August 2021 to Present

My most recent position of employment was a par 4 grill cook and trainer at cracker barrel. I can keep up with the busiest nights of the week at any of my stations. I maintain food quality, loss prevention policies, cleaning and maintenance duties. It's a very high pressure role to fill and I love it. I have a lot of knowledge in restaurant business and otherwise from the loading of product until its out the doors. Profit margins and inventory costs are my specialty and I'm always up for a challenge. Packer/Shipper, Machine Operator

American Merchants Inc - Bristol, VA

June 2020 to Present

I work in a warehouse picking, packing, and shipping different styles, brands, and colors of towels to retail companies. Each brand has different labels and shipping procedures so my position includes a lot of math and inventory management. Another part of the process is filling out order sheets for the drivers, printing packing slips, and providing the information to make quantity and weight labels for the units and pallets being shipped. I work closely with my team members to come up with more efficient ways to set packing lines and monitor progress. When there are orders requiring additional packaging I operate the bagging and sealing machine as well. I've trained other employees on this machine and in the shipping warehouse as well. In this role the details make the difference. Everything from the time the product enters the shipping stage until it leaves on the truck has to be correctly documented. I've also filled in for multiple supervisor positions for extended periods of time and did so successfully. Overnight Stocker

Sam's Club - Bristol, VA

October 2017 to November 2019

I worked in a warehouse setting on 3rd shift pulling pallets from the trucks we received to the area I was given and stocking them. I stocked everything from dog food to patios and make up. We were given a different department every night. After stocking an item I would check and update the inventory in the system, check all price signs, print new ones if needed, and check that they were all positioned and zoned correctly. We broke down boxes, cleaned, and got the store ready for doors to open. This was a very physical job involving moving, lifting, and stacking heavy products and pallets. Factory Worker

HSN - Piney Flats, TN

March 2016 to September 2017

I worked in picking and packing. My job consisted of following the orders on my computer screen to confirm the products being sent and pack them in the correct size boxes with the matching labels and inserts. I was also required to meet an hourly quota on packages sent and stock all the different sizes of boxes, paper, tape, and keep my station clean and organized. Assistant Manager/Manager

Little Caesars - Bristol, TN

June 2012 to January 2016

My responsibilities off paper were most important! I had to make clear goals and expectations for my employees while also engaging in a way that encouraged production while also giving a sense of personal pride and achievement. I had to come up with creative incentives to stay focused and work together in order to reach these goals. Problem solving and a sincere concern for the well being of my crew and keeping a positive work environment for them was the real key to my own success with speed, quality, and satisfied customers. On the business of this position I completed daily inventory, balanced safe and deposits, delivered deposits and cashed in for change daily, using projected sales to manage labor, fix any cash issues involving refunds, cashier mistakes, discounts, or free products. My tasks also included making dough, cleaning the heavy machinery like the ovens and freezers, stocking products when trucks arrived, stocking and throwing out veggies at specified time intervals, verifying order sheets, creating order sheets based on sales, and checking temperatures and expiration dates every day. I had to solve all customer and employee complaints, make employee position charts, ensure staff was being as productive as possible, give deadlines for important tasks to be finished, check product quality, set a productive speed by working closely with my crew and doing the same manual labor, and providing disciplinary action if necessary. My tasks included putting up weekly trucks, daily, weekly, and monthly inventory of all products. My job was mostly keeping correct product temps, visuals, enforcing time limits, meeting the quality expectations, ensuring the workday ran smoothly. Most important was overseeing correct cash management procedures and inventory for every shift. I was certified to manage any rmg restaurant and certified in ServSafe foods.
