I started at Safeway as an assistant floral manager in 2013 because of prior experience in a different division for the company. I quickly made it to floral manager and started running my own department. I was in charge of everything from ordering and inventory, to sales and upgrades. I successfully turned a D floral department to a B floral department in a short amount of time. I took the store's location and client basis into consideration and ordered accordingly. I turned the department from an F in customer service to an A in customer service. I trained employees in successful ways to take care of the department with efficiency, cleanliness, and knowledge on keeping products alive. I established crucial organization tools within the department to ensure success for employees. I am proud to say that I reduced the amount of shrink in the department by a substantial amount and raised the overall success of the department with honors.
