Accomplishments
When working for La Belle Management i completed a Dae Carnegie course in management to ensure the best possible service for not only our external customers but our internal customers as well
When working for Coin Star I had a Team of 12 Merchandisers that I overseen throughout Michigan. I was also responsible for maintaining the needs of hundreds of stores in the Michigan, Ohio and Indiana area which included WalMart, Meijer, Kroger and KMart. The setting up of new stores and resetting existing ones.
I developed and executed a Hybrid plan to train Merchandisers in extremely remote areas to be able to service all of the equipment of ours in a location, which eliminated having multiple Merchandisers and company vehicles going to the same area. In doing this it saved the company thousands of dollars per month.
My greatest accomplishments in life are being a mother and a grandmother and knowing my Savior, Jesus Christ !
