What I'm looking for

With over 15 years of experience as a business owner, I have successfully managed operations across various industries, including retail and food service. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, where I have led teams of up to 27 employees and driven sales growth by an impressive 110%. I believe in fostering teamwork and efficiency, ensuring that every member of the team contributes to our collective success.

Throughout my career, I have established strong vendor relationships, implemented effective marketing strategies, and maintained exceptional customer satisfaction. My approach to leadership is rooted in problem-solving and strategic planning, where I prioritize timely task completion and continuous learning. I am passionate about creating a positive work environment that encourages collaboration and innovation, and I am eager to leverage my extensive skills in a managerial role to drive organizational success.
