Department Manager @ Sprouts Farmers Market

About

I'm an analytical and highly creative problem solver. I'm able to look at process and think “How can this be improved?” With over 5+ years managerial experience in fast paced retail environment, I've organized and improved daily processes including purchasing, inventory management, and merchandising that allows my team to exceeded sales projections, lower shrink percentages, and increase customer growth/retention. I'm actively searching for professional opportunities to grow, develop and support my skill set in operations and logistics within, or outside, the retail environment.
