As the assistant manager of a cutting edge, fast fashion, retail boutique, I oversee and execute all retail operations such as stock, visual merchandising, and promotions, as well as lead and motivate the team of sales associates to reach our weekly sales goals. I make schedules, set budgets, manage banking, recruit employees and represent the brand with my passion, integrity and respect for everyone I interact with.My biggest contribution to Aldo has been my sales performance by creating a delightful shopping experience with all my customers. I consistently outperform my goals for sales per hour by increasing add on's and providing information on Aldo's shoe care products. My customers always leave happy, informed, and excited to come back again. This positively impacts conversion percentage and increases the average sale for the store as a whole.

I was an enabler of many Washingtonian's addiction: espresso. In order to ascertain loyal patronage in such a competitive market, I would enthusiastically welcome and connect with each customer, make suggestions of products to increase sales, and prepare consistent and delicious drinks for each guest in a timely manner.

I managed the incoming business of the restaurant. I demonstrated unique hospitality and professionalism to all patrons prompting a pleasant and memorable experience with an invitation to dine again. I developed great time-management skills in a high-stress environment, and learned tactful ways to give guests what they wanted without jeopardizing the flow of the restaurant.

I provided remarkable customer service to all shoppers and maintained corporate merchandising guidelines. My friendly assistance created loyalty with the customer and allowed me to enlist them in DSW’s rewards program. I also trained employees at emerging locations.
