Profile:

Summary

I am a former small business owner in the music/entertainment industry as well as a prior logistics/transportation specialist in which I have close to 12 years of experience in both the domestic and international spectrums, mostly in Sales and Account Management. During my time in the transportation industry, I acquired comprehensive knowledge regarding various supply chain models, including competitor information and industry comparisons. Given my expertise in this field and as a company owner, I believe that my customer-focused background, well-trained sales tactics, and exceptional organizational skills have helped to mold me into a favorable candidate for many different companies and various positions within their organizations.


I possess exceptional verbal and written communication skills, which have always been major attributes to both my professional and personal successes. Both my quantitative and qualitative approaches to problem-solving have been instrumental in helping to move my career forward in recent years. In addition to these abilities, I am extremely organized, detail-oriented, focused, and am a very efficient planner with a distinctive skill to multi-task when necessary. Furthermore, I am very proficient with Microsoft programs, such as Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Although I consider myself very fortunate and grateful to have been employed by two of the largest, most successful worldwide logistics/transportation corporations, I definitely do not want to limit myself to this particular industry. Along with the invaluable wisdom I gained while working for these business giants as well as the maturity I most recently attained from starting and running my own company, I am confident that I can bring much leadership and knowledge to any type of business in any industry given my experience, qualifications, and education.
