Summary

I am a dedicated professional with experience in shift leading, sales, coordinating and a passion for making personal connections. Entering the work force at the age of 16, I quickly learned that the key to success and job satisfaction lies in building strong relationships. I have completed internships that have broadened my skill set, and have given me a basic understanding of computer literacy in the process. I thrive in any work environment that includes things such as sales, organizing and making things easier for the consumer. I am eager to leverage my experience and enthusiasm to build a rewarding career.
