Summary

Upbeat Area Operations Manager with a positive approach and a rational method of thinking. Excellent communication skills paired. Well-versed in recruiting employees, identifying new, lucrative business opportunities, and suggesting corrective services. Organized and strategic professional offering several years of experience in the field. Anyone who knows me would state that I am a hard worker, great with people, open-minded, and willing to dive into anything that would further educate myself. I love to pursue just about anything that introduces me to new experiences in life, that will help me grow as a person, and an independent woman. I live on my own as a young adult; I am very good at maintaining responsibilities and organizational skills. I thrive in fast-paced work environments, and I do not fold under pressure; rather, I excel in those specific work environments. Friends and family know me to be extremely personable with just about anyone; it opens me up to meet an abundance of people who hold all different types of personalities. Along with being personable, I know that bonding with different personality types gives me a better understanding of how to see more eye-to-eye with divergent people.
