Work History
General Manager
Auto Parts Outlet - An LKQ company
Minneapolis, MN
04.2023 - 02.2026
- I am responsible for driving sales revenue through new client acquisition and fostering lasting relationships. I implemented creative marketing strategies and managed all aspects of operations. My daily duties were motivated by exceeding our monthly revenue budget. I made sure we hit our KPI’s and delivered an exceptional customer experience every day!
- On any given day, I would run safety meetings or sales meetings. I hired the staff and coached them on how to be assets to the company. We have exceeded sales budget every year, with 0 safety incidents, and almost no employee turnover. I’m very proud of our 4.8 Google rating. I achieved the President Club Award.

Solar Consultant
Greenlink Energy Solutions
Rockford, IL
08.2020 - 04.2023
- I did outside sales in person and virtually. I was responsible for providing customers with information about solar-powered equipment and cost-saving energy incentives. I prepared Solar Array designs for customers' solar installations using CRM software to manage client relationships. I personally sold more than $5 million in residential and commercial solar installations by utilizing my sales cycle. I have relentless follow-up skills with a positive touch. I either wanted to close the big-ticket sale or make the prospect respect Greenlink for future endeavors.
Operations Manager
Cheap Cars MN
Crystal, MN
06.2017 - 08.2020
- We sold a lot of vehicles. My job was to make the company profitable. I engineered a business plan to acquire vehicles under market cost and built a sales team. I later installed hoists and hired mechanics to make vehicle repairs more affordable, which substantially increased revenue. I then hired a detailer and instilled a positive culture throughout the company. Through my guidance, we could sell more than 300 vehicles a year while achieving a 4.7 rating on Google.
