Additional Information

Since working for Old Navy, I have learned so much about customer service and how much our guest appreciated great customer service. I am striving every day to learn more about how to make sure that each person, whether it be a co-worker, client, or just anyone needing assistance in any job is treated the same way; the way I would want to be treated. I am wanting to take the skills I have learned in my college courses as well for management and apply them in an environment that will allow me to use them.
