What I'm looking for

I am looking for a customer-facing retail or service role where I can use my bilingual communication, sales, and front-end operations experience, with opportunities to train others and advance.

I am a bilingual customer-service and retail professional with multiple years of hands-on experience in high-volume store environments, front-end operations, and direct client services. I have a consistent record of upselling, training new staff, and delivering positive customer experiences that drive repeat business.

My background spans cashiering, sales, appointment coordination, and client-facing roles in retail, beauty, and healthcare settings. I am proficient with point-of-sale systems, phone sales, data entry, and customer issue resolution, and I quickly learn new processes to improve efficiency.

I bring a positive, team-oriented attitude, strong multitasking and problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate comfortably in both English and Spanish. I seek opportunities where I can leverage my customer-relations strengths and develop further in retail operations or client services.
