Summary

Bringing a wealth of experience I feel I would be an asset to any team. In this particular role I would excel due to my background in customer service. Dealing with a wide variety of people daily, I am able to communicate with all ages and backgrounds. I am used to working in stressful situations where deadlines are important and time management is a must. I have mastered excellent problem solving skills throughout my years of owning a smash repair shop as not everything goes to plan and it was usually on a Friday afternoon problems occurred.

Having a business owner mentality I see a job I get it done, I'm not one to sit back and wait to be told what to do, I take initiative and step up.

My husband and I built successful businesses together which stood the test of time but I'm now ready and excited to focus on myself. For many years I worked to achieve his dreams but now its my turn to follow my passion which is helping others and trying to make a difference and I feel this role would help achieve this.
