I am a master of details, a natural driver with tasks and an excellent communicator. I thrive in fast paced situations, creating order out of chaos and connecting with people to drive business results. I have extensive experience in leadership, sales, retail and customer service that has built me into an organizational force. Looking to re-enter the workforce in a position that allows me to use my past experience in leadership and relationship building to create a new career for myself in the next chapter of my life.
