What I'm looking for

I am seeking a leadership role that allows me to leverage my expertise in customer-focused strategies and team development.

I am an experienced retail leader with a proven track record in driving sales growth and optimizing operations. My role as an Assistant Store Manager at Dollar General has equipped me with the skills to oversee daily cash handling procedures and manage all aspects of merchandising. I excel in engaging customers, addressing their concerns, and ensuring a positive shopping experience. 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. My experience as a Furniture Sales Consultant at Havertys Furniture further developed my customer engagement abilities, enabling me to assist customers in making informed purchasing decisions. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, which complements my passion for understanding customer behavior and enhancing their experience in retail.
