About me

I'm a (nearly) 6 year partner with Starbucks, having started my SBUX Career September 23, 2002 at the SSC in L&CA. I had the opportunitiy to work in many of the practice groups within the Legal Department, and served as coordinator for Jim Donald's SLT (Senior Leadership Team) meetings in 2005.

In the Spring of 2006 I moved to St. Louis to be with my partner; as there was no regional office set up at the time, I spent my first 8 months in the market as an ASM in store 2463 - talk about HARD WORK!! I am GRATEFUL and RESPECTFUL of those who serve and wear the Green Apron!

I spent 2 years as the regional coordinator for Gateway Area 120 / St. Louis, supporting the RDO, DMs and local market. In July 2008 the St. Louis Regional Office was closed in the 'reduction of workforce' event that affected many partners. Instead of leaving the company for good after such a devastating loss, I spent time refocusing my energies and starting my own business, Re:Do Home & Office Organization & Decoration. I still work for Starbucks, part-time, at the Chippewa & Lansdowne store as a barista. This allows me to maintain healthcare benefits while givin the time and energy I need to my clients in my personal business.

With my new-found opportunity as a business owner, I again LOVE WHAT I DO!
