Summary

I am looking for a career that will have opportunity for progression and a positive environment I can thrive in. I have worked in retail for nine years and am extremely comfortable and confident with my ability to learn quickly and apply my knowledge hands-on. I am a strong leader that relies on education, delivering thorough direction, and guidance. I have great customer service skills, work quickly and efficiently and embrace teamwork. I am able to maintain an extremely positive attitude even in stressful situations. I enjoy helping people, making them smile, and making sure every customer I encounter leaves my work place happy with an exponentially better experience than other retailers. My goal is to build life long customers through my company by using skills like listening, empathizing, apologizing and delivering solutions.
