As a store manager at Goodwill Industries of Kentucky, I lead a team of 25 employees and oversee the daily operations, sales, and customer service of the store. I have been in this role for over two years, and I am passionate about the mission and vision of Goodwill, which is to provide employment and training opportunities for people with disabilities and disadvantages.I have a proven track record of delivering results and exceeding expectations. Under my leadership, my store has achieved the fab 5 status, which means it was among the top 5 stores in the state in terms of sales growth, for five consecutive quarters. In 2022, we also reached the milestone of one million dollars in sales in the first 10 months. I attribute these achievements to my skills in training, coaching, and motivating my staff, as well as my ability to create a positive and welcoming environment for our customers and donors.I have a degree in Medical/Clinical Assistant from Brown Mackie College-Louisville, which I obtained in 2012. This degree has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to handle various medical and administrative tasks, such as taking vital signs, performing lab tests, scheduling appointments, and maintaining records. I believe that these skills are transferable and valuable for any retail or customer service role, as they demonstrate my attention to detail, accuracy, and professionalism.I am open to new opportunities to excel in my career and to make a difference in the lives of others. I am eager to learn new skills, take on new challenges, and work with diverse and dynamic teams. I am confident that I can bring my retail expertise, medical assistant background, and fab 5 achievements to any organization that values excellence, innovation, and social impact.
