Development Assistant at GCV

Clovis, California, United States

About

I graduated from the Master's University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Counseling. I currently work at Grace Church of the Valley as a Development Assistant. I spent time at companies like In-n-Out, J. Lohr Vineyards and Wines and Scout Coffee Co. where I have proven my ability to be a dynamic leader with proven staff management skills and a relentless work ethic that has allowed me to climb the latter quickly where ever I am at. Within 8 months at Scout Coffee, I went from knowing nothing about coffee to staff trainer. I have a passion for coffee and I am hungry to grow and learn. I currently work as a Development Assistant/Owners Rep for GCV and help manage a multi-million dollar construction project along with developing an entire coffee program from the ground up. I would love to connect so please reach out!
