What I'm looking for

I am looking for a retail or operations role where I can lead teams, manage inventory and vendors, and improve customer experience in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am an experienced Parts Sales Manager with a strong background in retail operations, inventory maintenance, and customer service.

At AutoZone I handled cash, keyholder responsibilities, supervision and training experience, and "Ran store for 6 months while SM was away" while performing Inventory Audits and acting as a Parts Knowledge Expert.

As Vendor Coordinator for Timeswirl Entertainment I coordinate vendors information, organize booth locations for events, make sure vendors get situated, handle online presence, and manage event layouts.

I bring leadership experience (including "Leadership over 300 people"), POS and Microsoft Office proficiency, training and development experience, and a practical, organized approach to solving problems in fast-moving retail and event settings.
