Summary

With over 5 years of experience as a Service Manager/Estimator at Final Touch Collision, I have gained extensive expertise in the day-to-day operations of an autobody shop. My proven ability to enhance productivity and streamline processes results in seamless operations and improved efficiency. Working in autobody left me with high levels of knowledge on all car brands and models.


Now, currently working as a lane manager at Benzel Busch, i have gained even more knowledge of our cars specifically and gave me insights on the target clientele.
