Vanessa Herrera Colon

Knowledgeable salesperson with a proven track record of successfully managing and growing business. Proven ability to produce, market, and sell local craftsmanship and art. My unique jewelry designs, restoration skills, proven work ethic, and relationships with prominent local artists and designers played a major role in successfully operating my retail art gallery. A self-driven nature and outside the box thinking allowed me to create a one of a kind experience for my customers while prioritizing efficiency in regards to labor and production costs. My passion & ability to clearly communicate and understand the requests of my clients has allowed me to fulfill unconventional & diverse needs. The skill set and enthusiasm I possess has the ability to enhance the expansion of Trisha Mandes' mission.
