What I'm looking for

I seek a customer-focused management role where I can lead teams, optimize store operations, and drive sales growth through strong service and process improvements.

I am a results-driven retail and sales professional with a track record of progressing from entry roles to store management across furniture and specialty retail. I excel at building customer relationships, upselling, and improving store operations to increase turnover.

During my tenure as Assistant Store Manager and later Store Manager, I led daily operations, negotiated with vendors, managed budgets, and implemented promotions that improved sales and profitability. I have hands-on experience with inventory control, merchandising, and staff coordination.

More recently, I worked as a Syspro Store Manager & Sales Consultant and an Appointment Setter, where I used CRM systems, data analysis, and personalized outreach to improve appointment conversion and lead management. I bring strong communication, time management, and analytical skills to every role.

I am adaptable, team-oriented, and proactive, with a customer-service focus and a commitment to continuous improvement. I seek roles where I can lead teams, optimize operations, and contribute to measurable business growth.
