I left Davis Lay due to a buy out by Smart and Final to pursue an opportunity at a start up company. I helped in the hiring and set up from the ground up. We shared in the vision of assembling the best team we could find. Dedicated self starters that wanted to be a part of something awesome. We did such a great job that the company was sold to Freshpoint.

I was hired at Davis Lay as a customer service representative. I had no experience. It was my first “real” job. In a short amount of time I worked my way up to managing customer service. I learned how to lead a team. I learned several things the hard way but the experience forced me to grow up. It humbled me and prepared me for future endeavors.
