Summary

I’m a dedicated leader with a passion for building strong client relationships and helping teams succeed. At Bud Clary Subaru in Longview, I thrived in negotiating financing deals for customers, while at Discount Tire, I developed and implemented sales strategies that exceeded targets. My strength lies in connecting with people, whether it’s guiding a customer through a big decision or motivating a team to achieve their goals.

Known for my reliability I take pride in multitasking multiple priorities with a positive attitude. I enjoy taking on new challenges, learning quickly, and finding creative solutions to problems. With strong negotiation skills and a focus on customer satisfaction, I aim to create lasting positive experiences while contributing to the growth of the organization and my team.
