After years of starting and growing successful businesses, branding, and marketing products, and developing pet adoption programs in Southern California, I am ready to transition. My extensive sales and marketing background in fast-paced environments, coupled with my background in hospitality services, has prepared me for what’s next. I am looking to put my soft skills to work in a customer-facing environment where service, problem solving, and connecting with customers is key. I am self-motivated and thrive in a multi-tasking environment and bring the ability to solve challenges in a calm and effective manner with a smile on my face. I am experienced managing up to 10 staff and have the proven ability to identify issues and recommend corrective action to minimize risk and liability for clients. I am also experienced with Point of Sale (POS) / Point of Purchase (POP) systems for provision of services in corporate and hospitality environments. Lastly, my experience includes warehouse shipping and receiving from an inventory tracking standpoint (merchandise flow, and incoming and outgoing shipments).
