Summary
Experienced retail manager and entrepreneur with a strong background in multi-store operations, team leadership, and customer-focused sales. Over the years, I’ve successfully managed multiple retail locations, driving performance, optimizing day-to-day operations, and leading high-performing teams to exceed goals.
In addition to my retail experience, I ran my own business in partnership with Sweetwater Sound, where I combine my passion for music and technology with deep product knowledge to help clients find the perfect gear. This dual role has sharpened my skills in business development, customer relationship management, and strategic planning.
I thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building lasting client relationships, and take pride in creating solutions that deliver real value. Whether managing a team or running my own venture, I bring a hands-on, results-driven approach to everything I do.
