Summary

Proven in enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty, I excelled at Community Image Associates by building a robust client base and significantly boosting revenues. My expertise in customer support and product knowledge, coupled with a goal-oriented approach, has led to notable achievements in sales and team leadership. Skilled in resolving complaints, I prioritize impactful customer relationships and operational success.

Really Enjoyed working 7 years at Jewelry Television as it was a motivating job dedicated to customers purchasing jewelry they would enjoy for a lifetime. On Feb 28, 2024 Jewelry Television laid off 110 employees due to restructuring of the company. I think that Reeds would be a great opportunity for me as I am enthusiastic and goal oriented peson who loves helping others.
