With over a decade of experience in high-volume retail management and a background in production and digital print supervision, I bring a unique blend of operational expertise, team leadership, and administrative precision to your team.

During my 13-year tenure as a Store Manager and Co-Manager with Hobby Lobby, I became adept at balancing the "big picture" of store performance with the daily details of personnel management. I successfully managed payroll budgeting, inventory control, and loss prevention while mentoring associates to achieve both personal and company goals.

My approach is rooted in the belief that a well-trained, motivated team is the primary driver of exceptional customer service and sales growth.

Beyond retail, my experience as a Production Editor and Digital Print Supervisor has sharpened my ability to:

Prioritize Complex Workflows: Managing traffic between advertisers, graphic designers, and printers under tight quarterly deadlines.

Adapt to New Technologies: Monitoring e-commerce ordering systems and operating specialized digital production machinery.

Solve Problems Proactively: Moving from high-level scheduling to hands-on layout design and customer service without missing a beat.

I am a self-starter who thrives in changing environments and prides myself on the ability to organize and prioritize tasks to meet any objective. I am confident that my diverse skill set and proven track record of loyalty and leadership would make me a valuable asset to company and team.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my experience aligns with the needs of your organization.
