Summary
I most recently worked over 2 years at a major auto dealership as an Assistant Webmaster where I helped to establish a new social media presence and increase customer retention through the implementation of a customer resolution team. I helped to revise department guidelines and procedures within the internet department to increase efficiency through standardized information and facilitated communication with the senior management team. I�ve also managed a freelance artist business on the side for 8 years, and played a major role in the creation and artistic development of the IOS TCG Lost Portal. I have over 10 years in retail and am highly experienced in customer service.
