Throughout my time in the industry, I have strengthened many of my skills. Through being a Sales Leader at American Eagle my leadership skills flourished. My position at American Eagle required me to be personable and make meaningful connections with not only customers that came into the store, but also my brand ambassadors as well as my leadership team. Through coaching, problem-solving, time management, and conflict resolution, my leadership skills were put to the test every day. Being a leader in retail is tough, but I believe it was one of the most insightful positions I've held thus far. My organizational skills are another one of my strengths. Being a sales leader, bridal stylist, and merchandiser all require high organizational skills. In each of these roles I've had to practice active listening in order to give the best customer experience. Attention to detail is another strength I've grown into especially in the bridal industry where you are taking measurements and giving tailor recommendations. I feel that all of these roles have challenged me in different ways, but also gave me the opportunity to build on my strengths.
