Proactively coached and mentored those brightest of stars on to retail management careers of their own.
I endlessly strive to create an unforgettable shopping experience for my customers, as well as an unforgettable working experience for my team.

This is a constant expectation of my team, which shows in the end result of goals and budgets being surpassed. Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than to be number one. I am open and keen to new concepts, be it from head office, or all the way to a part-time associate with a fabulous new idea. I can find value and merit in all situations, reaping from them the priceless tools of experience.
Exceptional at creating a climate in which people can, and will, learn and grow.
