Summary
Dedicated, friendly and versatile professional with a strong background in merchandising and customer service across diverse industries. Currently I am looking to further my education and pursue a teaching certification, but during seasonal breaks I am excited to have a job that I enjoy to fund that goal and keep busy. I will deliver exceptional service. I am always curious and love to learn - I will not let any customer question go unanswered, whether that means finding a coworker who will know the answer or doing research with whatever tools I have.
