Work History
MANAGER
Buffalo Brothers
Wake Forest, North Carolina
03.2021 - Current
- In my current role as a restaurant manager, I am responsible for making time-sensitive decisions in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment. I routinely overstaff, staff, resolve operational issues, and ensure server standards are met, while maintaining professionalism and discretion. This role has strengthened my judgment, attention to detail, and ability to remain composed under pressure. I take pride in accuracy, organization, and client-focused service, and I would bring the same level of care, reliability, and respect for confidentiality to work in a legal setting.
SEASONAL MANAGER
Walmart
Raleigh, North Carolina
11.2020 - 03.2021
- Working at Walmart provided me with another leadership role, where I worked within a large corporate environment, and was entrusted with supervising small teams to support operational projects. I regularly led groups of three or more associates, contributing to store development initiatives while maintaining company standards and regulatory compliance. I clearly defined key objectives, assigned tasks based on individual strengths to maximize performance, and facilitated team meetings to communicate goals, updates, and performance feedback.
COACHING ASSISTANT
NCFC
Raleigh, NC
01.2016 - 01.2020
- I served as an assistant coach for a U10 soccer team, which provided my earliest form of leadership experience. In this role, I applied critical thinking, strategic planning, and situational analysis to support team development and performance. I worked consistently to build trust and cohesion with players through effective communication, and results-driven coaching. I led structured coaching sessions to clarify defensive responsibilities and align team action, contributing to the team’s advancement to championship competition over a two-year period.
