Willow demonstrated growing confidence and initiative today. When asked if she was comfortable working with the oven—despite having no prior experience—she was willing to try and completed the task carefully and safely.

She was then asked to cut the pizzas and appropriately informed the manager that she had not yet been trained. With guidance from a trusted coworker, she learned quickly and performed the task successfully.

Willow continues to build her skills and confidence each week. Great work, Willow!🍕💪
