Summary

  • Nordstrom Rack Experience
    Dynamic sales professional with a proven track record of consistently exceeding targets and driving significant revenue growth. Demonstrated ability to meet and surpass quotas by implementing high-impact sales strategies, upselling techniques, and consultative approaches—resulting in measurable gains for both individual and team performance.


  • Experience in management and team leadership with a strong emphasis on collaboration and coaching. Whether training new hires or coordinating with cross‑functional teams, your inclusive leadership style supports shared success and consistent goal attainment even in fast‑paced environments.


STAGE NINE EXPERIENCE

  • I managed day-to-day operations in the absence of senior leadership, leading a team of around ten sales associates when no manager was on duty. I handled shift coordination, assigned responsibilities, and ensured the floor stayed organized and productive. I also stepped in to resolve escalated customer issues, acting with diplomacy and critical thinking to maintain service quality and reinforce customer trust


  • In addition to general sales responsibilities, I earned commission through the sale of artwork, drawing on my product knowledge and relationship-building skills to maximize revenue. I supported private events within the store—helping with setup, merchandise display, and checkout operations—demonstrating adaptability and event coordination strengths similar to those outlined in retail assistant manager roles
