Kayla James
I love working as a Merchandiser/ Independent Contractor. I can do anything in a retail store that there is to do! Whether it is setting planograms, building gondolas, setting shelves/merchandise per planogram, signage, pricing, etc., I am your go-to girl! I take my job very seriously and give it my all! If I am given an opportunity to shine, I suggest that you bring your sunglasses!
I am also a Post Eagle and will have my Associate of Science Degree in Marketing by 03/2024. I am excited to dive into the Marketing Industry and show off my skills!
