After having worked 13 years as a Retail Sales Representative for Kraft Foods in the C-store channel
and 1 year in the grocery channel for Mars and in multiple categories, the bottom line is the same:
Increase distribution, provide great customer service, build great relationships with store personnel,
speed to shelf with new items, merchandise the products, manage data, build displays, cut in new
items, and packing out product.
I am a team player, organized, smart, easily adaptable, and have the ability to learn quickly. I learn
best by doing and I am very good at what I do. With the Mars Grocery DRT team; I won the Wakefern
contest for most incremental cases order during Halloween; won football tickets for the Ahold contest
and know I will have an immediate impact in the Halloween pinning contest. I may not have a college
degree but my 14 years of experience & knowledge out in the field is bountiful. I am currently enrolled
for college courses in the fall of 2015.
