Coming out at work?

Hey guys, I just recently got a job at Old Navy in Brentwood, Tennessee and the south isn’t notorious for being the most accepting place, but I know it depends on person to person. I’ve been out for a year, but this is my first job where I’ll be living as my true self. How do I go about asking everyone to use male pronouns and use my chosen name? Should I just tell my manager and when I introduce myself, introduce myself as Jude? I don’t want everyone knowing I’m trans and although I may be short and look like a 12 year old boy, I pass rather well. My voice is no where near being high pitched and girly and I have no female mannerisms or anything. I start work next Sunday so any advice would be much appreciated.
