Summary

Goal-oriented manager with distinguished experience in the customer service industries and proven leadership abilities. Expert in increasing productivity and customer satisfaction while driving revenue and sales. Committed to streamlining procedures while optimizing employee talent.

From 2020-present, I was fortunate enough to hold the most important position in the world [to me]; being a SAHM. I feel this experience has fine tuned my ability in teaching, patience, organization and multi-tasking.

I am really looking forward to getting back into the work force, making money, building relationships, being around people and setting/reaching personal/business goals.
