Work Experience
General Manager
Baymont By Wyndham Flint - Flint, MI
July 2012 to April 2022
I managed a team of 25 co-workers. I changed the culture to one of customer service and working together as a team/family. I did the payroll, as well as, hiring new staff and disciplining old/current staff members to ensure compliance through and through. I controlled the bottom line and ensured we ordered only what was needed and eliminated unnecessary spending and excess inventory leading to theft. I went through the audits and transactions from the day before to ensure everything was correct and balanced. I started from the bottom as a janitor and housekeeper and worked every position as I moved up to the General Management position within 6 months of starting. I was responsible for the property, staff, and guests in every facet that included running the property. Owner/Manager
Stanley's Market - Flint, MI
May 2006 to September 2016
I was the owner/manager. I maid the schedules, placed orders, dealt with the distributer and marketing/ sales reps for several large brand companies. I organized the shelves, stocked the inventory, and made sure the products were stocked, pulled to the front, and the dates were rotated to prevent items from expiring.
