Folasade Agboola
@folasadeagboola
I am a driven, customer-focused retail lead with strong communication and organizational strengths.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and have a decade-long history of volunteer mentorship that reflects my commitment to youth development and community service. I progressed through customer-facing roles across retail and service environments, culminating in my current Front End Lead position where I train associates, manage the cash room, and resolve escalated guest issues.
I bring reliable inventory tracking, point-of-sale and cash-handling experience from a family-run floral shop and major retailers, alongside hands-on experience supporting afterschool programs and preschool classrooms. I am a quick learner and goal-oriented leader who values teamwork, clear communication, and opportunities to coach others and improve store operations.
