LISA WHITWORTH

Middle Tennessee

Summary

Skilled in every aspect of the retail environment: selling, personnel management, inventory management, money handling, merchandising, customer service, product knowledge and staff training. 20 years of retail experience, most of which has been in the natural food industry, the rest in cosmetics. I have lead multiple teams to being the top in sales goals for Whole Foods and Wild Oats, including winning a staff trip to New Chapter’s Costa Rica farm. I have also received Employee of the Month on several occasions. Honestly, I just love people and love helping them. I have 12 years of experience with data entry from 2007-2019. Plus 20+ years experience with meditation and whole food nutrition. I actually helped terminally ill cancer patients use a raw food diet for recovery, as well as employing that method myself with great success when faced with cancer over 15 years ago. I have 19 years of experience multi-tasking while homeschooling my 3 children.
