Summary

I am a dynamic professional with extensive experience in customer service and inventory management at Reject Shop. Proven ability to motivate teams and resolve issues effectively, ensuring high satisfaction levels. Skilled in cash handling and problem-solving, consistently enhancing operational efficiency and team performance. Committed to delivering exceptional results in fast-paced environments. I always ask for constructive criticism so that I can get better at everything I do. I'm not afraid to seek clarification or extra advice from those with more knowledge. I've learned during the many years I've spent in school that asking for criticism and getting other people's ideas on how I may get better, improve and make my work to the best of my abilities.
