Summary

During my seven year tenure with Sam’s, I quickly moved up the leadership chain. I enjoy helping people, and am passionate about providing excellent customer service and maintaining a positive work environment. Such passion caught the attention of my managers, and has led to my previous promotions and success. I commit myself to learning all aspects of a job, which allows me to be more competent and prepared to tackle any situation. I stepped down from my management position after crashing my motorcycle, and am now excited to pursue a new career. I have overcome many challenges, and my breadth of experiences have fostered the development of many attributes that would make me a valuable member of any team.
