  Brand Ambassador

  May 2006 - now

  BA

  With over Seven years in customer service, sales, hospitality/ food & beverage; I have become an eclectic brand ambassador. Beginning my career when I was just 17 as a hostess and receptionist I have learned the importance of skills such as managing schedules, working with time constraints, booking and traveling as well as seating arrangements. Working in Sales I have gone through several playbooks and have learned to develop my own style of persuasion that delivers great results. I even have experience in the event planning realm. I enjoy a challenge and believe the key to success when it comes to closing a deal is to be knowledgeable about the product, rules and regulations; do your research on competition and follow up to build rapport; but, above all, the ability to use creativity and to think outside the box is what sets me apart from all the rest. I have worked for companies such as Victoria's Secret, Zara, Argo Tea, CVS, Sonic Automotive and the SpringHouse. As well as several other odd jobs in promotions and even as a secret shopper. Let me help you introduce your brand to unsaturated markets. I am the Perfect Brand Ambassador for your company because I enjoy stepping outside of my comfort zone. Show less

  Capitol Hyundai

  Feb 2014 - Nov 2014

  Internet Sales, Product Specialist

  Commission based sales requires a "go getter" attitude because your success is determined by your persistence and ability to essentially manage your own business. This position requires excellent customer service skills to assess the clients' needs, explain the process to provide the customer full disclosure to earn their trust by providing them with realistic expectations based on individual circumstances, and finally (if qualified) to deliver the product. Each day requires a positive attitude and the willingness to dig deep to overcome objections and close the deal. This position also required integrity because you are entrusted with patrons' personally identifiable information. Show less

  Jan 2015 - Dec 2015

  Server, Event staff, Bartender

  The SpringHouse is a strictly farm to table casual fine dining restaurant. Providing guests with a casual fine dining experience by enticing the patrons with the Chef's preparations for the evening which are seasonal and change daily or weekly. Also, spirit and wine knowledge for perfect pairings for the evening's cuisine is an essential task in my duties. While tending bar I am responsible for ingredient preparation for the day’s cocktails, preparing each specialty cocktail to spec; and again displaying wine, beer and spirit knowledge to inquisitive guests as well as closing duties. The SpringHouse is a beautiful unique destination on Lake Martin so it is only natural that our patrons host weddings and private parties and I have worked several events for our elite clientele. These duties include set up of event space for the BOH and FOH staff, passed hors d'oeurves, tending bar, clearing and break down. However the most important aspect of my duties is to instill trust with the patrons that frequent the establishment by building rapport. Show less
