Senior/Licensed Personal Banker
PremierWest Bank - Yreka
I have worked in the banking industry for the past 12 years; working the majority of my career as a Senior Personal Banker as an Officer/Supervisor of the Yreka branch. Within the last several months, I acquired the title of Licensed Personal Banker; having obtained my State of California Insurance License #0H61306. I managed and developed client portfolios, retained existing branch accounts, and developed new business to meet or exceed established branch consumer and business sales thresholds. I can explain all bank products and service options, as well as opening all new personal and business accounts, Merchant Services, Online Banking, debit cards, and IRAs; among others. I am trained and knowledgeable in discussing, interviewing and processing all Consumer Loans. I prospected and identified qualifying new leads, recognized sales opportunities, sold and cross-sold bank services, and pursued referrals from staff and the client base. I trained new bank staff in Operations, Personal and Business account ownership, Trusts, Retirement Accounts, Product Knowledge and Compliance. I have no problem answering questions, explaining bank guidelines, solving problems or responding to difficult issues with clients or bank staff; and do so in a calm and patient manner. I am extremely self-sufficient, working with limited to no supervision, and am able to manage multiple priorities and meet or exceed deadlines. I enjoy attending community and/or CRA activities as needed by the branch. I have excellent organizational and technical skills and detail orientation, interpersonal and rapport-building skills, as well as oral and written communication skills. I have maintained an overall rating of Excellent on my last 11 annual performance evaluations. I provide quality customer service and represent the bank in a courteous, friendly and professional manner, projecting a positive attitude, and providing prompt, efficient and accurate service.

Sales Associate
JCPenney - Yreka
I was responsible for serving customers and accurately managing all sales; as well as assisting with merchandising responsibilities, such as stocking, pricing and keeping the store neat, clean and organized. My key job duties were providing prompt, courteous and excellent customer service, ringing up all sales, and properly and accurately handling money, checks and other types of payment received for the products I sold. I performed housekeeping duties necessary to maintain the store cleanliness and basic upkeep. I performed all duties with minimal supervision and was required to work irregular hours, attend job-related meetings and perform other duties as assigned.

Shop Manager
Gourmet Vous Coffee Shop
I directed the entire coffee shop operation, which included the supervising of all employees, I ensured that the shop met quality and food service regulatory requirements, and I made sure the customers were provided with exceptional service. I was in direct contact with the public on a daily basis. I was able to handle multiple priorities and had strong leadership and motivational skills.
My responsibilities included hiring, training, scheduling and motivating new and existing employees. I ensured that the proper types and amounts of food, coffee, supplies and merchandise were ordered and stocked to maintain appropriate inventory levels. I promoted the shop and motivated the employees to increase sales and provide excellent customer service to maintain continual customer presence. I developed weekly and monthly revenue goals for the shop and ensured that those goals were met.
