  • 2006 - 2014

  I focused on ensuring that our customers received the best service, which is evidenced in maintaining over 95% customer satisfaction yearly. At the same time, I held my team members to the highest standards, while also building their confidence and empowering them to reach their potential. I successfully led my team through two major transitions with little turnover. I made myself available to assist senior management, other lines of business, and my team members as needed. Maintaining positive relationships with other lines of business and vendors was crucial to our success, and which I cultivated with professional and friendly communication. Senior management nominated me for a leadership program, which I completed in 2012. In general, I oversaw team's management of events in over 750,000 square feet, developed best practices and documentation, hired new team members, and handled customer and internal complaint resolutions. I was promoted twice within 2 years. Show less
