Barista/Shift Supervisor

• Jul 2002 - Jun 2009

During my 7 years with the company, I went from starting as a Barista to being promoted to a leadership position in a Supervisor. Throughout the years, I was part of the company as it rose with the many stores that opened, learning how to manage and supervise, train and develop as a team and be part of a Fortune 500 company. Starbucks is a great company that provided great products, great benefits for its employees and showed me what I am looking for in a company to work for.
