EXPERIENCE

June 2024 - Current Employer
As a Target/Starbucks Employee, I have learned many skills to add to my resume.

Most times I would have to deal with young adults in college or late high school, I could relate to them but as a mother I could relate to the parents no matter what age. I really do enjoy being a barista and making connections with my customers.
