Summary

From experience as a salesperson it has taught me to be a hardworking employee who is enthusiastic about learning the automobile field inside and out. I offer strong administrative, relationship-building and problem-solving abilities in the workplace.


Organized car detailer with a successful history of managing competing priorities and meeting challenging performance targets. From the service industry, it opened my eyes to both sides of a business: Service and Sales.


Being a Finance Intern allowed me to explore another component of a business and added to my sales and communication expertise from selling warranties to customers. The most valuable skill I learned is how customer retention because the finance department is the last place a customer visits after purchasing a vehicle.


I have been very involved with my Fraternity, Kappa Sigma, by being in a chair position for the organization every year of college. This showcases the drive and consistency I would dedicate to anything I am involved in. Dealing with 200+ members every day proves my ability to work with a diverse set of people.
