Objective
Organized, efficient, and experienced person with years of business experience seeking a career with your company.
Qualifications
I have a long track record of achieving and exceeding performance as well as budget and team goals. I can simultaneously handle complex situations and multiple responsibilities at the same time. I was well known with Ford Motor Company for my ability to establish and enforce policies that created a better experience for the customers which in return made the dealership prosper. My dedication and hard work not only got me nominated for the 12 member council, but landed me, the first woman ever, a seat on the Parts and Service Managers Advisory Council (PSMAC) for a 4 year term. With that came a lifetime of business knowledge as we were flown to Detroit 4 times a year to help Ford Motor Company continue to thrive while every other manufacturer had to have government bail-outs.
