Summary

Driven by a commitment to excellence, I leveraged my expertise in retail inventory management and premiere customer service at Publix and Chick-fil-A to elevate customer satisfaction and streamline operations. I am a quick learner, at Publix it takes the average person 2-3 years to become manager and I achieved becoming department manager in 1 and a half years.
