My path in life has been direct
1.
2002- Homeless - (Thought I was all big and bad at 18 and could make it on my own...ended up homeless).
2.
2003 - Got a job at Taco Bell and never looked back.
3.
2004 - Became a Shift Leader at Taco Bell - That was a challenge all in itself. Being promoted in your home store with all your "friends."
4.
2005 - Became an Assistant Manager - I helped my store become a Training Store and I was getting more and more comfortable in the management role. 2006 - Had my first baby - a girl :) Kayleigh
5.
2008 - After many prompts from my company to get me to take over a store I finally did it. I was so hesitant on taking a store because I didn't want all that on my shoulders. That and it was a TPX!
6.
2010 - I was transferred back to my original store and turned it into a training store shortly after. (I had worked in a lot of stores at this point).
7.
2012 I had second and last baby - a boy - Laythen. 2014 I was transferred to another TPX where I turned it into a training store. I had hand developed all but 2 of the 9 managers on my roster.
8.
2019 I accepted a position as a Project Coach. Many of my peers and leaders thought I would take the training route but I wanted to show that I can be versatile in what I do.
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Family:
"That's not a real job. You'll never make it anywhere." My siblings didn't approve of my career choice and stopped talking to me shortly after I started working there. They only spoke to me out of a necessity when our Father passed away.
How I responded:
This is your journey. 1. Always remember to ask for help. Don't let your pride get in the way. 2. Always recognize those who helped you along the way multiple times. They're going along on a journey also and you never know when they might need that pick me up too. 3. Don't shy away from a challenge. DIVE IN! Will Smith said it best..."Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of Fear" 4. Don't let negative words slow you down let it FUEL your mission! 5. HAVE FUN!
