Johnston,IA

Summary

Dynamic professional with a proven track record at Berlin Packaging, excelling in account management and customer relationship building. Adept at creative problem solving and effective communication, I have successfully coordinated operations and enhanced vendor training, ensuring seamless processes and strong partnerships. Proficient in Microsoft Office and skilled in classroom leadership.

Over the past eight years, I have made the decision to step away from the workforce to focus on raising my children and managing our household full-time. During this period, I developed and strengthened key skills such as organization, time management, multitasking, and problem-solving—many of which are directly transferable to a professional environment. Now that my children are more independent, I’m excited and fully committed to reentering the workforce and bringing both my previous professional experience and the skills I've gained during this time to a new role.
