Gabrielle Ybarra Email & Phone Number

I like to compare myself to a utility belt. You see, I’ve got expertise in multiple fields and am always looking to add to my tools. I have experience with customer service, team leadership, and writing. I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for the past eight years and it’s helped me hone my customer service skills, communication skills and customer relationships. I helped open five out of seven restaurants as a corporate trainer in one of the franchises of First Watch. I helped a brand new team break record sales it’s opening week and become one of the best restaurants in the company of the year in 2017. I was also an integral part of exceeding sale goals, retaining customer relationships, and an establishing the franchise as one of the best restaurants out of the 400 in the company. Along with restaurant experience, I’ve got over 20 years of experience in the soccer world. I’ve played since I was four years old and was a part of a few extremely successful programs. Being a part of a team taught me hard work, commitment, patience, and most importantly how to have fun. I not only played, but I coached high school soccer for four years. Coaching gave me a different perspective on the game. I learned how to structure practices from personal experience, creativity, and critical thinking. I pushed my players to be the best version of themselves both on the field and off as individuals.Another tool I possess is my writing capability. I have BA in English from UAPB and am proficient in MLA and APA formatting and Microsoft Word. Writing comes naturally to me, and I love how you can string along words to create something beautiful. All the papers I’ve written over the years helped shape my literacy, creativity, and mindfulness. Outside of work, you can find me out in nature with my dog, reading a good book, or with a ball at my feet!
