I'm pursuing a Business Administration degree at the University of Missouri and am nearing graduation. I've also worked at Hippos Columbia as a Lead Staff Manager, where I managed various tasks from sales initiatives and training to ensuring compliance and improving customer experience in a regulated sector. My team and I focused on presenting merchandise effectively to boost sales. By staying informed about products and trends, I offered valuable advice to customers and managed inventory closely. I also spent months as a budtender, so I have an exceptional understanding of the products. My academic background, combined with this practical experience, has equipped me with skills in business administration, sales strategies, and customer engagement in a challenging industry environment.
