Summary

I’m a dedicated college student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business, with a strong foundation in customer service, operations, and retail management. Since 2019, I’ve grown from a part-time team member to a supervisor at Joann Fabric and Craft Store, where I’ve developed skills in inventory control, scheduling, bookkeeping, and handling financial deposits. As Joann prepares to close, I’m seeking new opportunities to learn and grow, applying my education and hands-on experience to new challenges and industries. I’m especially interested in roles where I can continue to develop my business acumen while contributing to a team-oriented environment.
