    I would love to be a part of your project! I have 12+ years of Administrative and Operational experience with a wide array of skills that were developed during this time. I have assisted in opening 3 coffee shops, and 2 coffee pop ups. My strength is in purchasing, cost of goods, workflow, quality control and training. I really enjoy the specialty coffee industry, and would love the chance to use my skills to help small businesses grow. I pride myself in finding solutions, problem solving is fun. Many times, I see a solution no one has seen before, and also find ways to improve business. I am innovative, and believe you would benefit by having me on your team. Another part of my story is in the food industry. I ran the baking program for two coffee shops that made everything from scratch. I have also owned a cake/cupcake business in New Zealand, which I did outside of my 9-5 job. Recipe testing and development is what I thrived in, and I would love to continue doing this work in some capacity. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Kind Regards, Alissa
