As an entrepreneur who has run a multi faceted, self employed business for over fifteen years, I have developed strong organizational and customer service skills which have led to successful goals. Having experience dealing with vendors, manufacturers, and individual customers, I have developed assets that would make me valuable to any business, big or small. Being in charge of my own business running a salon and candle making production, I am proficient in managing inventory and maintaining a clean, well-stocked environment. Seeking a transition into a new field that values efficiency and customer satisfaction. Dependable and committed to delivering high levels of job performance, I am a real team player. I consistently interact in a positive manor with customers and employees in any environment.
