Food Industry Experience

hero template

Spent a semester helping the food manufacturer Yogi Tea find the best price point for their products. Used Excel heavily and worked closely with senior leadership.

I’ve worked part-time for a family-owned restaurant for a year and a half, which has given me a strong understanding of restaurants' needs and frustrations. This experience will enable me to connect with A&L Food's customers more empathetically.

Managed client payments

I have experience collecting payments from customers. I ran a lawn mowing business for three years with twenty clients and two employees. Routinely created quotes, tracked payments, and communicated with customers. Doing similar work for A&L Food would be a smooth transition.

Education in Business

Majored in Business Administration from the University of Iowa’s Tippie College of Business.

-> Took coursework on Financial and Managerial Accounting
-> Graduated with a 3.90 GPA and was on the president’s list
