Summary
After a 5 year break to be a stay at home mom, I'm excited to return to the retail world and get to work. I have over 30 years experience in retail and grew up in a small local retail business. I have about 20 years of management experience starting from small departments and teams up to large teams and multiple stores. I understand I'll likely need to begin near the bottom and work my way up in the company, I believe this will be achieved quickly with the right company no matter the starting position. I'm currently seeking a somewhat flexible over night shift while I navigate the return to work and childcare but expect to have a more flexible schedule in the near future.
