👋 Meet Ava Baker, whose journey with Chipotle began at restaurant #2691 in Fort Wayne, IN. 🌯 What started as a job quickly became something more. Drawn to the brand and the people behind it, Ava found a strong sense of community from day one and built lasting friendships with her team along the way. 🎓 While balancing work and school, Ava earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a legal studies certificate from the Indiana Institute of Technology. Next up: law school. 💡 Ava says her experience at Chipotle helped her build skills she’ll carry into graduate school and beyond — from problem-solving and resilience to time management and adaptability. 🌟 As she prepares for graduate school, Ava is excited to continue growing with Chipotle while using the company’s Cultivate Education program to support her goals.
