Additional Information
I am a proud hard worker and go-getter in the workplace. My passion and joy for kids allowed me to be a nanny for three years. I then became a sales associate at a crystal/bookstore where I learned priceless information on crystals, buying, and business. I have been trained and worked in every position, with my current and longest position being a shipping and receiving associate. I process and create listings for items we receive, photograph our products, and create purchase orders. I have also helped with social media marketing, creating videos for the store that went viral bringing in many customers from all over Florida. I also handle shipping out packages from our online store, and have actively been apart of launching our new website. I have done inventory, and I am a buyer as well, developing connections with many vendors. I enjoy working as a team, and have loved collaborating with my coworkers every day. Besides my love for my coworkers, I find joy every day in interacting with our customers and getting to connect with people in whatever way I can.
