Summary

Driven, Positive, and a Wearer of Many Hats (both figurative and literal) - Being able to bring both a retail and wholesale mindset to every meeting has been key to creating and sustaining healthy connections. I love being challenged and finding out new, creative ways to not only reach, but exceed goals. I pride myself on being a diverse, team player and work best supporting those around me in any way that can help lead to a positive outcome. My main objective is providing a seamless, spectacular customer experience from start to finish while continuing to expand brand representation far and wide.
