Shelbyville

Summary

Over sixteen years of leadership experience from food service, customer service, pest control, and certified field training. Of those sixteen years of leadership, close to eight of those years have been with Rentokil. The other nine years have been at Chick-Fil-A and Best Buy. The ability to be a compassionate listener and provide our team and customers excellent service is my core operational procedure. With my vast amount of experience I have no doubt I could positively contribute to the team in an expanded leadership capacity.
