What I'm looking for
I am an experienced retail leader with a proven track record in driving sales growth and optimizing operations.

My leadership style emphasizes team development and operational efficiency, allowing me to mentor and coach team members effectively.
Prior to my current position, I worked as a Forklift Operator at Garlock Printing and Converting, where I honed my skills in inventory management and logistics.
