Summary

Having a career in the staffing industry, it has proven me to become an excellent leader, problem solver, adaptable in dynamic environments, and intentional communicator.

A positive attitude and professional demeanor have allowed success which includes sales, customer retention, exceed financial growth targets, and employee engagement. I am adaptable, empathetic, and while deliberative, able to make decisions in tough situations.
