Summary

Finding a position where I can use my organizational skills in the workplace to create a smooth and easy flowing store for a more positive customer experience. My passionate care for small details will be highlighted through ensuring that all customer needs are met.

I am devoted to working closely with co-workers and customers to ensure that their experience in store is memorably pleasant. Growing up, my family has taught me that a job worth doing is worth doing right the first time. I am a reliable person that when given a job I can be trusted that it is done on time and correctly. I strive for greatness in every job I am given as I take pride in being dependable and knowing I have done a job well. I enjoy organizing and finding creative ways to solve problems that will benefit customers.
