Summary

If you are looking for a fast paced, passionate individual that can be utilized in many areas of your business, look no further! I’ve been in sales and customer service my entire life. Increasing profitability while making customers happy is what I do best. I have great confidence in my ability to source and white label any product. I have strong decision making skills and think very quickly. I prefer to be challenged to solve problems and never shy away from adversity. Last but not least, I will immerse myself in the data of the business as I love numbers.
