I coordinated with all departments to ensure efficient operations of the store. Ensured compliance with safety regulations and maintained a safe workplace. Lowe's was very strict on following policy and procedure, and I made sure all members of management had the tools they needed to implement this to the team members. I worked very closely with the sales manager to make sure departments such as millwork and fashion bath drove sales with special orders and installs to maximize sales in those departments.

Started out as a sales associate and opened up the Mentor Home Depot and a few months later I was promoted to Department Manager of Hardware and opened up the new Highland Hts location in 2000. I was in charge of ordering all inventory for hardware, scheduling of the department, etc. I trained my employee's that when a customer asks if they work in that department to respond with "I work in all departments". With that I made sure that they were all cross trained and could walk that customer to any department and give them the service they deserve.
