Summary
Event planning and team leadership, along with my personal experience as event decoration creator and designer (including floral arrangements), has given me a unique set of skills to work in the floral department in a store setting. Also,, my strong communication and collaborative skills help me to work well with other team members to achieve goals and get tasks done. I have retail experience and am comfortable working with customers. Additionally, I have worked for Ralph's stores before so I understand and highly respect the high standards that Ralph's adheres to at every Ralph's store.
