I've been with In-N-Out for 13 years, starting in the restaurants and working my way up through management. I went through In-N-Out University, which is our own university training for development of managers in the stores. In 2021, I stepped down from store management but stayed part-time with the company to maintain my longevity. During that time, I worked full-time at a different company learning account management skills and dealing with supply chain, shipping, and receiving products. It was a tough year with a lot of hours, but it helped me come back to the table and present better skills to get a more efficient role in what I wanted. After seeing all the technology in my store experience, I wanted to understand how it all worked, which led me to pursue a role in the IT department. I moved into an IT project coordinator role and have been advancing in project management since then. I'm now a senior IT project manager approaching 4 years in IT, currently leading an Oracle supply chain implementation for all of our back-end business processes. I recently received my PMP certification and my CAPM certification in project management. I'm working on being promoted to a program level manager by the end of this year, and I'm hoping one day to run my own PMO.
