My experience in leadership and operations has taught me how to coordinate teams, communicate effectively, and make decisions in fast-paced environments. From supervising concession operations at The University of Texas at Austin’s football stadium to advancing into leadership and training roles at Six Flags Over Texas, I developed a strong foundation in team management, operational coordination, and problem-solving. These experiences required adaptability, accountability, and attention to detail while supporting both employees and guest experiences. The skills I developed continue to shape my approach to collaboration, leadership, and strategic communication.
Six Flags Over Texas
During three and a half years at Six Flags Over Texas, I progressed from ride operator to supervisor and department trainer, taking on increasing responsibility in team leadership, employee development, and park operations. I led teams during shifts, helped train employees, coordinated personnel during ride shutdowns, and supported safety and operational compliance. I also assisted park leadership with operational needs and maintained attendance and ride-throughput tracking in Excel, contributing to daily reporting and decision-making. These responsibilities taught me to communicate clearly, respond to time-sensitive challenges, and maintain operational standards in a fast-paced environment. Advancing into leadership at a young age strengthened my ability to guide teams, support employee growth, and take ownership of both operational performance and the guest experience.
1883 Provision Co. (Sodexo)
As a Concessions Supervisor with 1883 Provision Co., a Sodexo operation at The University of Texas at Austin’s football stadium, I supported concession operations during game days and other high-volume events. My responsibilities included overseeing inventory, coordinating restocking, monitoring product supplies, and helping ensure concession stands were prepared to serve large crowds. I worked to keep operations organized while communicating with team members and responding to changing needs throughout event days. This experience strengthened my ability to balance team coordination with behind-the-scenes logistics and demonstrated how preparation, accountability, and teamwork contribute to successful event operations.
