Summary

Compassionate and dedicated professional with extensive experience as a Family Caregiver for my grandmother, excelling in personal care and patient advocacy. Proven ability to build strong relationships and effectively multitask, ensuring her well-being and comfort. Additionally, thrived as a Sales Associate at Nordstrom, leveraging product knowledge to enhance customer connections and drive sales.

The biggest job I've had to sharpen any of the skills listed above was having children. I am very fortunate to be able to care for them myself, but it's time I re-enter the adult workforce. I still have an incredible drive to help others in any capacity.

Sales Associate

Nordstrom
Portland
09.2004 - 10.2005
  • I was trained under Pilar Klickman for perfume sales, and I took it upon myself to become as knowledgeable as possible about all our perfumes. I studied top notes and layering, as well as where these components were sourced. It greatly helped me to connect with the buyer on a more personal level, which is my end goal.
  • Tracking sales and high commission made for a competitive atmosphere that I naturally thrived in due to my personal study of actual sales products and natural ability to connect with a person.
  • This position required weekly team meetings, where we would combine ideas to surpass the previous week's goal for department sales.
  • Maintained visual standards and organized merchandise displays throughout the store.
  • Processed customer transactions efficiently using the point-of-sale system.
