Summary

As a career retailer my commitment to a client focused culture has inspired my personal development and success. I have consistently developed achievement-orientated teams by promoting from within as well as recruit, hire and train in order to support business priorities and deliver performance metrics. As a leader I can set expectations and hold people accountable in an ever changing environment as well as celebrating each person's successes. I am outgoing and engaging in order to reach out to establish and maintain relationships with diverse groups. I am organized and planful in my sales and management activities. In addition, I initiate projects and initiatives in a systematic manner but also possess the flexibility to respond to changing demands.
