For the last 10 years I have spent time in various roles in retail organizations, handling buying, merchandise planning and site merchandising/marketing in these jobs. I am proficient in business and strategic analysis, financial planning & analysis, problem solving, and vendor/client relations as a result of projects I have handled. Prior to my tenure in retail, I graduated with a degree in accounting and worked as an auditor for the Internal Revenue Service, a mutual fund accountant and handled bookkeeping for a small business.
