Additional Information
I am a very experienced individual when it comes to retail. I have been a store manager for 6 years now and firmly believe that any store can be managed and brought back to life with the right person and right focus. I’m very team oriented and ready to go nothing stops me when I’m ready to go! I’m a great addition to any team due to me being very outgoing and motivated to achieve any goal and or obstacle!
