I began my career in the Automotive industry in 2006. With over 17 years of experience in the automotive field, I specialize in identifying areas of potential growth and set plans accordingly for improvement. I have worked in dealerships of various sizes and scopes, leading teams, forecasting goals, developing strategies, and managing budgets.At my most recent automotive role as a Finance Manager at Lithia Motors, Inc., I streamlined loan processing by setting up department with a software program for aftermarket offerings, improved cash flow by implementing a department process that reduced the funding time from 11 to 4 days, and led a team to a 25% increase of product sales for a nationally recognized vendor. These achievements all being accomplished in a 60-90 day cycle. I’ve also mentored and trained sales staff on tracking, goal setting, and team collaboration, in addition to balancing product sales to maximize revenue. I am passionate about helping others succeed and finding solutions that enhance productivity and profitability.
