I recognized a business opportunity during my sophomore year of college. The pricing in plant and floral market place was impacted by lost inventory (shrinkage).
By implementing a business model that closely aligned inventory with customer demand, I was able to minimize shrinkage. This allowed my business to offer products at very competitive pricing.
In addition to closely monitoring inventory, I developed a network of suppliers (growers) that could provide extensive product options and prompt delivery at competitive pricing. This further enhanced my ability to offer competitive pricing in the market place.
I further expand my business acumen through internships at two local industry leaders.
While I enjoy the horticulture industry, my primary goal is employment that offers me an opportunity to use my college eduction as well as the business acumen I have learned through my internships and by running my own business.
