Summary

Dynamic Retail Sales Manager with a proven track record at Express Clothing, excelling in sales management and team training. Enhanced store presentation through effective visual merchandising and drove customer engagement with successful promotional events. Skilled in conflict resolution and inventory management, consistently achieving increased sales and customer satisfaction. In addition, I helped customer in need when it came to a language barrier. Although I have worked in retail management for quite some time, my heart has always been in the medical field. Currently, I am still in college, but I have taken medical terminology, which will come in handy later on.
