What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my HR and operations expertise while fostering a positive company culture and driving growth.

I am a highly successful Franchise Owner based in Nashville, TN, with a solid background in Human Resources and Business Operations. My journey has been marked by a commitment to strategic planning, marketing, and staff leadership. I take pride in driving consistent growth not only in my small business but also within my team of employees. As a female small business owner, I value self-motivation, organizational tactics, and employee retention, which are skills I have honed throughout my career.

Since March 2020, I have been self-employed, managing labor, inventory, and overhead costs effectively to maintain profitability during challenging times. I have handled employee, customer, and operations issues with calm and knowledgeable strategies, ensuring that my business remains on track. My role encompasses various responsibilities, including HR Manager, Payroll Strategist, Marketing Head, and Customer Support, allowing me to wear every hat necessary in the business world.

Prior to my current venture, I worked as a Sales and Events Coordinator at CSI DMC, where I managed the administrative logistics of event planning and promotions. I supervised onsite teams and fulfilled contractual obligations to ensure events ran smoothly. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Marketing Communications from the University of Mississippi, which has equipped me with the skills to innovate and stand out in competitive markets.
