OTHER WORK EXPERIENCE
Champs Sports, Lakewood CA, Sales Associate 06/2016-03/2020
At Champs I learned a lot about customer choice. When we featured a lot of options they were confused and bought less. When we focused our offerings to make choice easier sales went up.
Finish Line, Cerritos CA, Sales Associate, 05/2018-04/2019
I had the special opportunity to work with the public and see what they responded to. Retail is a giant A-B experiment and every day we learned more about viewer choice and effective communication.
Collaborative Coffee Bar, Lakewood CA, Barista 06/2021-Present
I had fun getting creative in brainstorming new drinks and ideas to engage more with our community through coffee.
