Summary

I am a friendly and clearly dedicated individual who has an ambition to succeed in any given environment. Although I have extensive experience in the grocery industry for nearly 15 years with the same company, I love to learn and am always up to a challenge whatever the situation. I decided to make a career change in 2013 and move forward with insurance sales. I like helping people and building relationships. I get along well with others, while also working efficiently on my own. I am seeking a position where I can develop, excel and learn new skills, while also giving my best to an employer.
