  First Niagara Bank

  • Retail Operations Analyst

    • Jan 2010 - Sep 2013

    During my time working on the help desk I improved my problem solving skills by quickly gathering information by using active listening skills, then providing appropriate solutions and confirming with callers that they were comfortable and understood their role in completing the problem solving.It was enjoyable to have new employees sit with me as part of their training. Sharing knowledge and mentoring others allowed me to maximize my value to the department. By volunteering to work extra hours I was able to assist the bank in solving various challenges in regard to the rapid expansion of the organization. First Niagara purchased all or parts of three banks during my time at the Help Desk.

  Mosher Agency

  • Broker Owner

    • Jan 1988 - Apr 2002

    Being a Broker Owner of a Real Estate agency is a wonderful way to learn the ins and outs of a small business. I was responsible for hiring, training and scheduling. I created and executed our marketing plan. During my time as owner we revamped our information systems and created one sheets for each listing which included floor plans and photos. We also switched to using Quick Books. A small business owner needs to be aware of and repsond to the rapid changes in communication methods and tools available to meet the customer's needs. It is an advantage for a small business to be able to respond quickly to changes in technology.I established a core of loyal customers who still contact me with real estate questions.
